MRI Temperature Monitoring

Life sciences and patient monitoring applications require high-accuracy fiber optic temperature sensing.

OSENSA offers single and multi-channel fiber temperature probes for MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance imaging), and RF (radio frequency) environments, including low-cost disposable temperature probes with fast-response and exceptional accuracy.

Life sciences rely on fiber optic temperature sensors for high accuracy sensing in environments that are not conducive to standard thermometers and RTDs.

One use for fiber optic sensors is patient monitoring in MRI, NMRI, and MRT environments where extremely high magnetic fields combined with pulsed RF (radio frequency) energy prohibit the use of metallic sensors.

MRI Guided Surgeries

Unlike other types of temperature sensors (e.g., thermocouples), OSENSA’s fiber optic probes are immune to electromagnetic effects and 100% MRI safe.  They can be used safely and accurately for MRI guided surgeries.  Special sensor design allows for the possibility to highlight where the sensor at the probe tip is positioned in the MRI image.  Depending on the size and materials used, the fiber optic probe can either be made visible or invisible in the image.  OSENSA’s probes offer the highest accuracy and lowest noise measurements for MRI application.

OSENSA’s fiber optic sensors are constructed from non-metallic materials making them ideally suited for monitoring patient temperature and ensuring the specific absorption rate of tissue does not exceed damaging levels.
