FOMRI™ II Fiber Optic Microphone

Dual Channel Noise Canceling

The dual channel FOMRI system is our leading edge noise canceling system for MRI environments.

It combines two complementary Optoacoustics technologies into a single microphone housing: orthogonal and matched pressure gradient noise canceling. In addition, it uses a powerful adaptive algorithm that is uniquely designed for two channel applications. Supports tight integration with existing MRI communication systems.

Optoacoustics’ dual channel FOMRI provides noise canceling at on-axis (0, 180) and off-axis (90, 270) geometries using two complementary techniques.
