Hi everybody,
The powers that be at UCLA have decided that they might site a functional
MRI (3T, actively shielded) in the same room with our new 800 US^2. Our
room is about 16 meters X 9 meters, and the 800 is in one corner. We have
a cryoprobe, and the instrument is used for biomolecular NMR.
The MRI can be sited so that its stray field will be less than 1 gauss
(and straight) at our magnet, so I don't think that's a problem. However,
I understand that the RF is so strong that the whole thing has to be
enclosed in a Faraday cage. In fact they are proposing to build a building
within our building to house the thing, so that it will look nice and
professional for all their patients.
Aside from the fact that we probably won't be able to work while they
build everything and bring the MRI in, is there any obvious reason why
both instruments can't live in the same room? Has anyone seen this kind of
arrangement before?
Thanks in advance!
-Robert
