Does using a dielectric pad require a protocol change?

No protocol changes are needed. Simply position the pad on the target anatomy and run your existing sequence without modification. The improvement in B1+ field homogeneity happens passively.

Is the pad MR Conditional?

Yes. All MTechLab dielectric pads are MR Conditional and have been tested per ASTM F2503. They are safe for use in MRI systems at the field strengths listed on this page.

Can you make a custom size for non-standard anatomy?

Yes. We regularly manufacture pads for non-standard anatomies, paediatric patients, and research applications. Contact us with the target circumference or dimensions and field strength — we'll specify the right configuration.

How do I clean and reprocess the pad?

Wipe with a standard MRI-safe disinfectant (IPA wipe or equivalent). Do not autoclave or immerse in liquid. The outer fabric is resistant to common hospital disinfectants. Full reprocessing instructions are available on request.

Which field strength benefits most from dielectric padding?

Higher-field MRI systems show the largest absolute SNR gain because dielectric effects are strongest at higher frequencies. Lower-field systems also benefit significantly, particularly for deep anatomy. Ultra-high-field research systems see the greatest percentage improvement.

Product principle

Shape the field. Keep the workflow.

The pad works passively at the point of acquisition. Its high-dielectric core supports B1 field distribution around the target anatomy while the existing scanner, coil, and protocol remain in place.

Fit and workflow

Three steps. No hardware changes.

Curve the pad over the shoulder and fasten the strap so the pad follows the joint contour.

Position

Place the pad directly on the target anatomy, conforming it to the body surface.

Insert into coil

Slide inside the standard flex or spine coil as usual. No hardware modification needed.

Scan

Run your existing protocol without any parameter changes. Improvement is immediate and passive.
