ETS-LINDGREN'S COPPER RF
SHIELDING uses both a superior
RF attenuator and the durability of
bolted, light weight modular panels
to ensure reliable performance.
DESCRIPTION
This modular frame construction is
wrapped with electroplated copper
which can conform to any design
criteria. The engineered and bolted
system enhances RF integrity with
wide 4.4 cm (1 3/4") seams that
are highly compressed, offering a
seamless shield surface. Interior
fasteners do not have to penetrate
the shield surface by design, which
enhances the long term life of the
shield.
FEATURES
The MR-Cu Shield utilizes pure
electrically deposited copper as
the RF attenuator. This copper
system offers superior electrical
and metallurgical properties. The
light weight panels further enhance
constructability in any architectural
design. This shielding system

Accepts Metal
or Wood Framing

MR-Cu Shielding

provides RF attenuation levels

greater than 100 dB up to MR
frequencies of 400 MHz (9.4 Tesla).
The free standing RF walls are an
important consideration regarding
acoustic and seismic concerns.
Because the walls are structurally
independent from the parent walls
of the MRI suite, there is an inherent
acoustic envelope surrounding the
room. Structurally independent
walls also provide a unique seismic
component and are not subjected to
the same seismic forces as the parent
structure.

Contractor friendly interiors allow

for the addition of interior finishes
and all utilities without penetration
of the RF shield surface which leads
to long term high performance.
APPLICATIONS
Any diagnostic MRI suite
STANDARD CONFIGURATION
Modular wood frame panels
manufactured using a fire-rated
Structural Composite Lumber.
OPTIONS
Various types of RF doors

The light weight ceiling panels

(1.1 kg/sq. ft or 2.4 lbs/sq. ft.) reduce
the gravity and dead loads that
would be applied to the overhead

structures. Additionally, overhead

spanning beams can be employed
without the use of heavy structural
members.

Factory engineered and fabricated
RF shield panels offer enormous
flexibility in architectural design.

RF Floors and Windows

The MR-Cu Shield is available with two types of RF flooring systems. The modular design of the shield adapts to both a standard
modular panel floor and a patented monolithic epoxy/grout RF floor. The wood core, modular panel floor is ubiquitous within the MR
shielding industry. The patented monolithic floor offers the additional enhancements of water resistance, low vertical profile, and a
machinery grout surface for the installation of all types of floor finishes.

Utilizing our ClearShield line of window systems, the MR-Cu Shield is easily adapted to large interior or exterior window
assemblies. Magnet entry panels are a standard feature and provide for easy removal and reinstallation to the inherent bolted design of
the modular wall and ceiling panels.
