A proposed filter improvement design using specific inductors and capacitors effectively reduced electromagnetic noise in medical imaging equipment across various frequency bands.
For the purpose of treating health checkups and recovery of patients in a super-aged society, hospitals use devices designed with a reduction circuit of electromagnetic waves associated with the specific absorption rate of electromagnetic waves absorbed by the human body. In this paper, we proposed a filter improvement design method capable of reducing electromagnetic waves. As a result of confirming the validity of the proposed technique through simulation and experimental results, the following result values were obtained. Applying the common-mode (CM) inductor 4 mH to a calibration circuit, noise decreased in a multiband spectrum. Using the differential mode(DM) inductor 40 μH element in the primary calibration circuit, the noise decreased by 15 dB or more in the 3 MHz band spectrum. Also, applying the Admittance Capacitance (Y-Cap) 10 nF element in the secondary calibration circuit resulted in the decrease by more than 30 dB in the band spectrum before 2 MHz. After using a common-mode inductor 4 mH element in the tertiary calibration circuit, it decreased by more than 15 dB in the band spectrum after 2 MHz.

Song et al. (2022) studied Electromagnetic interference in medical image equipment. Filter improvement design (calibration circuit) vs. Initial circuit was evaluated on Electromagnetic noise reduction. Applying a calibration circuit with CM/DM inductors and Y-capacitors reduced electromagnetic noise by over 15 dB in the 3 MHz band and over 30 dB before 2 MHz in medical imaging equipment.
