Claim:
1. A rotatable protective cover functioning as a door, that both opens and closes off, an entrance opening of a patient bore in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) device, said rotatable protective cover comprising: a connector hinge coupled to the protective cover, that couples the protective cover onto the MRI device in a rotatable manner, such that when a patient is positioned within the patient bore of the MRI device, the protective cover is rotatable with the connector hinge so that the entrance opening of the MRI device patient bore may be either covered or uncovered; and the rotatable protective cover being a semi-permeable barrier constructed from a material that is at least partially transparent and provides both magnetic shielding and radio frequency shielding when the rotatable protective cover is positioned in order to completely cover the entrance opening of the bore.
