MR Safety: second level operating mode

Dear all,

I was curious if anyone has any experience with operating an MRI scanner in the second-level operating mode.

As per the information available online it can only be applied in a research setting and with approval of an institutional review board / independent ethics committee.

Has anyone been through the process of obtaining the approval and activating the mode on the scanner?

I’m asking because our Cima.X has much more potential than what we can currently use due to IEC stimulation limits.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Samuel
