Remote Patient Intercom for
MRI Remote Scanning
PI (Remote Patient Intercom) is a purpose-built communication system designed to support remote MRI scanning operations. It enables real-time, two-way audio communication between technologists and patients inside the MRI bore — even when the technologist is working offsite.
As MRI facilities expand remote scanning capabilities, RPI restores a critical element of patient care: direct, continuous communication. This ensures patient reassurance, rapid response to concerns, and uninterrupted scan workflows without requiring the technologist to be physically present in the control room.
Key Features & Benefits
- Real-Time Two-Way Communication: Allows remote technologists to talk to and clearly hear the patient during active scans.
- Patient Reassurance & Comfort: Reduces anxiety, motion artifacts, and scan interruptions through immediate verbal interaction.
- Flexible Deployment: Can operate as a standalone intercom or integrate with existing patient comfort and communication systems.
- Remote Scanning–Ready Design: Engineered specifically for offsite MRI operations and remote workflow support.
- Safety & Emergency Response: Enables instant communication if a patient experiences discomfort or distress.
RPI is a core component of a safe, scalable remote MRI scanning strategy, helping facilities maintain the same standard of patient interaction as on-site scanning while expanding staffing flexibility.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. MRI remote scanning follows strict safety protocols and operates within existing MRI safety guidelines. On-site personnel remain present with the patient at all times to ensure immediate response if needed.
No. Image quality remains the same as traditional on-site scanning. Remote technologists use the same scanner controls, protocols, and quality checks to ensure diagnostic-grade images.
Remote scanning solutions are compatible with many leading MRI platforms, including mobile and fixed MRI systems. Compatibility depends on system configuration and software integration.
