SAFESCAN Portal 9000-C

SAFESCAN ®


The SAFESCAN Portal 9000-C is a superior technological solution for ferromagnetic threat detection prior to magnetic resonance imaging.  A proprietary development project of the National Research Council, Canada (NRC) and Mednovus, Inc., exquisite sensitivity down to the diamagnetic susceptibility of the human body is achieved via the use of a large sensing coil system and the application of a DC magnetic field array - which emits no RF and causes no interference with MRI quality. The Portal 9000-C is available by special order.

The SAFESCAN Portal 9000-C represents best-of-class performance, with:

  1. SUPERB SENSITIVITY – for ferromagnetic threat objects only (no alarm for non-ferromagnetic threats).  Although no ferromagnetic detection system can claim 100.0 % accuracy, the Portal 9000-C is uniquely designed to minimize the possibility of missing a potential ferromagnetic threat object. 

  2. OUTSTANDING INTERFERENCE REJECTION –from outside sources, such as elevators, moving chairs, doors, etc.

  3. 32-INCH APERTURE –  accommodates patients on (non-ferromagnetic) gurneys or wheelchairs.
Ferromagnetic detection is intended to supplement, but NOT to replace conscientious medical screening protocols.
