Manufacturers typically specify new MRI systems to have a minimum Faraday Cage (FC) attenuation of 90-100dB at the resonant frequency. Anecdotal observations have suggested that systems can operate successfully with FC attenuation levels below this specification. We present a survey of attenuation measurements across eleven systems in order to gain insight into realistic values on systems in routine clinical use.
