But I don't know the data.
Mary should better contact W.Wysock for that matter.

Bill just says "provides control", but doesn't provide any quantitative
data. As DaveP pointed out, you CAN do EMI/EMC control with a suitable
cage, but it's non-trivial to do a good job.
You need to have some quantitative objective: To a first order, the
field inside (close to the coil) is on the order of several 100kV/meter.
Do you want 60dB attenuation? (to 100V/meter) or 80dB (to 10V/m) or
100dB (to 1V/m). The latter is pretty challenging.

"The prevailing international standard for the RF immunity of medical
devices is the 1993 revision of the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) Standard IEC 601-1-2. This standard sets a minimum
immunity level of 3 volts per meter (V/m) in the 26-1000 MHz frequency
range."
Or, are you just looking to not interfere with some sort of radio?
Or to not destroy a victim radio?
Experiment: Put your cell phone in a microwave oven: a shielded
enclosure designed to attenuate 2.4 GHz from the several hundred watt
level inside to less than 2 mW/cm^2 outside. It's got gaskets, mesh,
solid metal walls, etc. Call the cell phone and see if it rings.
