MRI Ergometer Push/Pull
Unique imaging possibilities with patient in stress

This MRI ergometer is suitable for cardiology in scanners where it is impossible to make a real pedal movement. The workload is adjustable up to 100 watt. The zero load is <5 watt at 25 rpm. The MRI ergometer is an ergometer for use during MRI studies. The MRI ergometers workload is controlled with an electronical braking principle especially designed for use in a MRI environment. The moment of inertia is 8,4 kgm2. The MRI ergometer is standard supplied with a control unit and power unit. The standard control unit offers the possibility to read out various parameters like workload, rpm, torque, timer and distance. The power unit is completed with a safety cable for wallfixation. The MRI ergometer can be used for MRI scanners up to 3 Tesla
Overview

Highlights

High standards
Lode is a social and environmental responsible company.
All Lode products are RoHS/WEE compliant.
Furthermore, Lode is ISO 9001:2003, ISO 13485:2008, FDA 510K, IEC 60601-1 and DIN 13405 certified.
Tesla independent
The choice of materials and the special design makes that the Lode MRI ergometer is useable for a 1,5 and a 3 Tesla MRI without giving artifacts on the imaging.
Exercise instead of medicine
When a test subject is able to do exercise, it is always recommended above pharmacologic stress. It allows objective measurement in either level of cardiac conditioning and/or level of cardiac work. It is safe and perfectly reproducible.

FAQ

Q - Is it possible to use the MRI ergometer with all kind of MRI scanners?

The MRI ergometer is compatible with Siemens, GE and Philips MRI scanners. The type of movement (up-down, push-pull or circular) is depending on the diameter of the scanner and the kind of research (cardiac, spectroscopy etc)
