摘要:
A wireless patient sensor (16) for monitoring a patient (14) during an MRI examination, the patient sensor comprising: a housing positionable near the patient (14) during the MRI examination; an input circuit for receiving a physiological signal (22) from the patient (14); a transmitter (30) for transmitting the physiological signal (19) wirelessly to an external station (24) in a manner compatible with operation of the MRI machine; and a power source contained in the housing and providing power for the input circuit and transmitter (30), the power source comprising a capacitor storage (36) without chemical batteries. A system of powering of a wireless patient monitor using capacitors is also provided.
摘要:
A coil for magnetic resonance imaging operates in a transmit mode with multiple loops locked together in a phase relationship like a birdcage coil to provide a uniform transmission field, but in a receive mode like a phased array coil, each coil operating independently to produce a separate signal for reception by the MRI machine. Phasing of the coil during transmit mode is provided by a ring resonator controllably coupled to the loops. Controllable coupling is provided by a series of current limiting elements interposed between the resonant ring and the loops of the coil.

An RF coil for MR breast imaging comprises: a lateral array comprising a plurality of lateral coil elements disposed in a substantially coplanar geometry; and a medial array, substantially parallel to the lateral array and moveably coupled to the lateral array, the medial array comprising a plurality of medial coil elements provided in a substantially coplanar geometry; wherein the magnetic fields created by the lateral and medial coil elements are substantially orthogonal to each other in the anatomy of interest.
摘要:
Systems and methods of overlaying a three-dimensional image of a tissue and an image of the tissue from an imaging transducer, having a field of view are disclosed. The method includes determining pixel dimensions of the field of view in the second coordinate space, scaling the three-dimensional image in the first co-ordinate space to match the pixel dimensions of the field of view in the second co-ordinate space, and displaying an overlaid image comprising the three-dimensional image and the field of view of the imaging transducer.
