Means and methods for reducing electromagnetic energy propagation from a magnet bore of an MRD to the external environment surrounding the magnet and vice versa
An electrically earthed protecting sleeve that reduces the electromagnetic energy propagation from a magnetic bore to the outer environment surrounding a magnet. The sleeve has a distal portion located within an open bore of an magnetic resonance device (MRD) and a proximal portion attachable to an aperture of the MRD. The sleeve accepts a non-imaged portion of a body portion inserted within the bore while the imaged portion protrudes from the distal end of sleeve.
