radiated interference can be a difficult task. Customers should consider the
following in an attempt to locate the source:
• Is the interference intermittent or constant?
• Does the interference show up only with one transducer or with several
transducers?
• Do two different transducers operating at the same frequency have the
same problem?
• Is the interference present if the system is moved to a different location in
the facility?
• Can the EMC coupling path be attenuated? For example, placement of a
transducer or printer close to an ECG cable can increase electromagnetic
interference. Moving the cable or other medical equipment away from the
location of the transducer or printer can result in reduced electromagnetic
interference.
The answers to these questions will help determine if the problem resides with
the system or the scanning environment. After you answer the questions, contact
your Philips service representative.
Use Restrictions Due to Interference
The physician needs to determine if an artifact caused by radiated interference
will have a negative impact on image quality and the subsequent diagnosis.
