The MRI
Suite is
Getting a
New Voice
The precision required to achieve clear imaging in the MRI environment can be a complex and unpredictable process to navigate. High levels of acoustic output leads to diminished communication capabilities during procedures where collaboration between medical staff and patients has proven essential. EERS offers a solution for the future of MRI communication — reliable, clear 2-way audio technology developed for safe use in and around the MRI bore.

Solutions
Built for the MRI Ecosystem.
EERS supports multiple MRI workflows across clinical environments — from research suites to high-throughput imaging networks.
Interventional MRI
Clear communication during MRI-guided procedures, biopsies, cardiac interventions, and ablations where clinician-to-clinician and clinician-to-patient communication is critical.
Remote MRI Scanning
Connect off-site technologists directly with patients inside the scanner — supporting distributed imaging networks. Deployed with Deephealth / RadNet.
Diagnostic MRI
Improves patient comfort, reduces the need for sedation, and supports real-time instruction delivery that directly affects image quality. Validated by Mayo Clinic.
Interventional MRI
Clear voice during MRI-guided procedures.
Interventional MRI procedures require precise coordination between clinicians, technologists, and patients. In and around the MRI bore, extreme acoustic noise makes clear and reliable communication difficult.
Over time, clinicians have been resourceful in developing their individual techniques to help overcome this communication barrier — often relying on hand signals, repeated scan pauses, or indirect communication through technologists outside the scanner room. EERS aims to relieve that burden by giving the MRI suite a new voice — a clear and dependable two-way communication system.
Traditional MRI communication systems deliver sound to the patient, but cannot capture voice clearly from inside the scanner. EERS is the only system designed to capture, filter, and reconstruct voice directly from the ear canal, enabling true two-way communication in and around the MRI bore.
Powered by patented technology, and backed by years of research and development, EERS is proud to introduce a new communication standard into the MRI environment — built to aid the efficiency and precision of interventional procedures: Cardiac Interventional MRI, Biopsy Procedures, and Ablation Treatments.MRI technology has advanced rapidly. Communication inside the scanner has not.
GOALS
EERS aims to minimize
Slowing down procedures
Interruptions and unclear coordination extend procedure times and reduce throughput.
Patient stress & anxiety
Isolation and extreme noise inside the bore heighten patient distress during interventions.
Interrupting workflow
Technologists must pause scans or relay messages indirectly, breaking clinical focus.
Limiting scope
The range of interventional procedures performed is constrained when communication is unreliable.
As interventional MRI continues to expand into new clinical areas, reliable communication is more essential than ever before. MRI-guided interventions continue to grow across cardiology, oncology, and minimally invasive treatments. As these procedures evolve, reliable communication inside the MRI bore will become an integral part of the infrastructure. EERS enables clinicians to communicate clearly during procedures — unlocking new possibilities for MRI-guided medicine.
REMOTE MRI scanning
Connect off-site technologists directly with patients.
Remote MRI allows technologists to operate scanners from centralized locations, addressing the growing shortage of MRI technologists and improving access to imaging services. But communication inside the MRI environment remains a major challenge.
Remote operators often rely on indirect communication through on-site assistants or limited audio systems that cannot clearly capture patient responses. Patients may not hear instructions clearly, operators cannot confirm patient responses reliably, workflow interruptions slow the scanning process, and communication errors increase clinical risk.
EERS enables clear two-way voice communication between remote operators and patients inside the MRI environment while integrating with existing and emerging remote MRI platforms and imaging technology providers. These systems enable technologists to remotely operate scanners, monitor patient status, and manage imaging workflows.
Improved Patient Safety
Clear instructions and responses reduce clinical risk.
Workflow Efficiency
Operators can communicate without pausing scans or relying on intermediaries.
Better Patient Experience
Patients feel reassured when they can clearly hear and respond to instructions.
Scalable Remote Operations
Reliable communication enables healthcare systems to expand remote MRI programs confidently.
DIAgnostic MRI
A better experience inside the scanner.
Diagnostic MRI represents the largest segment of the MRI imaging ecosystem. With more than 100 million scans performed annually, even small improvements in workflow efficiency or patient experience could have significant impact. As imaging centers look for ways to improve patient satisfaction and reduce scan interruptions, reliable communication inside the MRI bore becomes increasingly valuable.
During a diagnostic MRI, patients are often isolated inside the scanner with minimal ability to communicate with technologists. Instructions may be difficult to hear, and patients may struggle to respond clearly if they become uncomfortable or anxious.
Improving communication inside the scanner could significantly improve the patient experience, reduce scan times and minimize repeat imaging due to movement.
Patient anxiety
Isolation and scanner noise heighten stress, especially for first-time and pediatric patients.
Repeat scans
Movement from unclear instructions leads to retakes and longer appointments.
Longer scan times
Limited back-and-forth slows down the workflow for technologists and patients alike.
Sedation reliance
Pediatric and claustrophobic patients often require sedation that better communication may reduce.
EERS is working with clinical partners and research institutions to explore how improved communication inside MRI environments can support new clinical workflows and improve patient outcomes — with active research into sedation reduction and enhanced patient interaction during imaging.
LOOKING AHEAD
Potential applications for diagnostic MRI
EERS opens the door to several emerging applications in diagnostic MRI environments.
Sedation reduction in pediatric imaging
Improved communication may help reduce the need for sedation in younger patients.
Caregiver presence model
Family reassurance through real-time voice can support comfort during scans.
Task-based imaging
Clear, two-way instructions can support brain mapping and functional imaging procedures.
Advanced patient monitoring
Future capabilities may include feedback, hearing support, and therapeutic audio inside the bore.
As interventional MRI continues to expand into new clinical areas, reliable communication is more essential than ever before. MRI-guided interventions continue to grow across cardiology, oncology, and minimally invasive treatments. As these procedures evolve, reliable communication inside the MRI bore will become an integral part of the infrastructure. EERS enables clinicians to communicate clearly during procedures — unlocking new possibilities for MRI-guided medicine.
COMPANY
Advancing the future of MRI communication.
EERS is building the communication infrastructure that enables clinicians and patients to hear and be heard inside the MRI environment — because no patient should face a scan alone, and no clinician should work without a voice.
Our mission
Clear communication, even in the loudest room in medicine.
MRI technology has transformed medical imaging and enabled new forms of diagnosis and treatment. Yet one fundamental challenge has remained largely unchanged — voice communication in and around the scanner.
EERS exists to solve this problem.
Our mission is to enable clear, reliable communication in the most acoustically challenging environment in medicine, helping clinicians perform procedures with greater confidence while improving the patient experience during imaging.
By combining advanced audio engineering, machine learning, signal processing, and MRI-safe hardware, EERS is building the communication layer for the next generation of MRI workflows.
