Abstract:
Disclosed is a magnetic resonance imaging magnet assembly (102, 102′) configured for supporting a subject (118) within an imaging zone (108). The magnetic resonance imaging magnet assembly comprises a magnetic resonance imaging magnet (104), wherein the magnetic resonance imaging magnet is configured for generating a main magnetic field with the imaging zone. The magnetic resonance imaging magnet assembly further comprises an optical image generator (122) configured for generating a two-dimensional image. The magnetic resonance imaging magnet assembly further comprises an optical waveguide bundle (123) configured for coupling to the optical image generator. The magnetic resonance imaging magnet assembly further comprises a two-dimensional display (124) comprising pixels (600), wherein each of the pixels comprises a diffusor (602, 602′). Each of the pixels is optically coupled to at least one optical waveguide selected from the optical waveguide bundle, wherein the at least one optical waveguide of each of the pixels is configured for illuminating the diffusor. The optical waveguide bundle and the two-dimensional display are configured for displaying the two-dimensional image.
