Abstract: A method of initiating a scan in a medical imaging device includes detecting a patient-ready signal from a magnetically and radiographically inert communication device and automatically initiating the scan upon detecting the patient-ready signal.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for a headset that may be used in an audio system used in a magnetic field. In one aspect, the system includes an inner set portion adapted to fit into an ear canal. A pneumatic port is disposed in the hole to couple audible sounds to the ear canal. The system may include a non-magnetic transducer coupled to the pneumatic port. The system also may include a fiber-optic microphone to couple sound from a user of the headset. Other techniques provide a stethoscope-type yoke to couple the pneumatic port and the fiber-optic antenna to the non-magnetic transducer.

Abstract: A sound or acoustic system constructed entirely of magnetically inert components which remain unaffected by magnetic fields. A magnetically inert panel is provided, with at least one magnetically-inert transducer being mounted upon this panel. At least one hollow channel extends into the panel from an edge thereof, while a hole is positioned within the panel to communicate at one end with the channel and to open at an opposite end adjacent the transducer.
