Abstract: A display system for display of MRI, ultrasonic, patient vital sign or other imagery within a magnet room of an MRI system. An MRI compatible video display is disposed with the magnet room, and is connected to the MRI image processor to provide MRI images to medical personnel working in the magnet room. The display can be an MRI compatible LCD projection display, a wired LCD screen display, a reflective LCD screen display or a plasma display. The display within the magnet room is made MRI compatible by appropriate shielding and filtering. The display may also display patient vital sign data or imagery from an MRI compatible ultrasound apparatus.

Abstract: An audio and video system that is compatible with the strong magnetic fields generated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging equipment (wherein the MRI equipment is separated by a penetration panel into a control room and a magnet room). The system receives an incoming RF signal through a television or video cassette recorder, and then separates the RF signal into a video section signal and an audio section signal. The video section signal passes through appropriate buffering, amplifying, low pass (for the procession frequency) and RF filtering circuits, and is next conducted through the penetration panel into the magnet room where it is terminated and filtered again for spurious noise. A processor and LCD pixel driver then process the video section signal and send it to an LCD display screen. A mushroom shaped hook is mounted to the screen and a catch is mounted to a bore of a main magnet inside the magnet room so that the LCD screen can be attached to the bore.
