Cambridge Research Systems BOLDScreen

The Cambridge Research Systems BoldScreen an MRI-safe 24" LCD display located at the head end of the magnet bore. Participants are able to view this display though a mirror mounted on top of any of our  head coils.  A second identical BOLDScreen is associated with the Mock Scanner on the fourth floor.

Safety
"DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE STANDARD ALLEN KEYS INTO THE MAGNET ROOM. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE STEEL MOUNTING SCREWS FOR THE NON-MAGNETIC STAINLESS SCREWS."

Monitor


The BOLDScreen monitor is MR Safe. It does not pose a hazard in the scanner room. Eddy-currents make the monitor difficult to move near the magnet. There is considerable magnetic resistance to any movement in high field areas. Move the monitor slowly until it has cleared the main magnetic field. We strongly suggest any adjustments or removing the monitor from the trolly be done outside the scanner room. Any adjustment to the clamp screws must be made using the purple titanium allen key ONLY. The purple key is kept in the tool drawer in the scanner suit. Always replace the key in the tool drawer after using it. Adjusting the hight or removing the monitor from the trolley is a two person job. Do not attempt it by yourself. Ask for help!

Trolley
The non-magnetic BOLDScreen Trolley is MR Safe.

The trolley with attached monitor weighs 61.5kg. Use care when moving it especially near the magnet or over any uneven surfaces. Be aware the assembly is somewhat top heavy and would be difficult to control if it started to tip over. Get help if you need to move the trolley outside of the scanner room.

Power Supply


The Power Supply is MRI Conditional. It is safe within the 3.0T magnet room but must be kept near the wall and away from high field areas. DO NOT MOVE THE POWER SUPPY.

If you need to move the power supply ask Andrew or Paul for assistance.

Cables


The BOLDScreen cables are MRI Conditional. They are safe as long as they are attached to the BOLDScreen and the screws are tightened. The connectors are ferromagnetic and will move when not securely attached to the monitor. When the cables are not attached, they should be stowed along the wall or removed from the room.

RF BURN HAZARD: NEVER ROUTE THE BOLD SCREEN CABLES OVER THE PARTICIPANT OR THROUGH THE SCANNER BORE.

Switching On / Off
Switch the bold screen on at the wall outlet inside the MRI room. The wall outlet is located behind the wood storage cabinet near the entrance door. The Bold screen should power on and display either the internal self-test or whatever is on the stimulus PC. If the Bold Screen does not power on, check the on / off switch on the back of the power supply. The power supply is on the floor to the left of the wood storage cabinet. When you are done with the Bold Screen, switch it off at the wall outlet.

Moving the Bold Screen
If you need to move the Bold Screen away from the magnet bore, ask Andrew or Paul for assistance.
