摘要:
A framework is provided for accelerating multi-scan and multi-channel data acquisition in a clinical MRI protocol by estimating correlation functions from images previously acquired or reconstructed, with the same or with different contrast and resolution. Using an MRI apparatus, the method collects a plurality of prior MRI image scan data sets, obtains a current MRI scan data, and reconstructs the current MRI scan data set using an aggregate of the plurality of prior MRI image data sets. The method provided may optimize previously acquired MRI image data sets to reconstruct an MRI image scan data set and image.

The present disclosure relates to a transfer station adapted for use in association with an MR scanner (102) for neonatal infants. The transfer station comprises a moveable patient table (130) having an MR-compatible patient bed (120) attached to the top of said patient table. Further, the patient bed is sized and positioned to extend a patient into an imaging volume of the MR scanner. The patient table further comprises an extending mechanism causing the patient bed (120) to be extended and at least partially project from the patent table (130). The transfer station comprises also a latching mechanism (124) releasably attaching the patient table (130) to a patient table docking assembly (140), wherein said docking assembly moves the patient bed toward and away from the imaging volume of the MR scanner.
摘要:
A patient table adapted for use in association with an MR scanner for neonatal infants is provided. The patient table has an extendable patient bed attached to and extendable from the patient table. The patient bed may be at least partially inserted into an MR scanner without requiring the patient table to enter the MR scanner. A transport mechanism is on the underside of the patient table so that it may be readily moved over the floor on which it rests. The patient table includes a latching mechanism that may operate to releasably attach the patient table to a patient table docking assembly. The docking assembly is operative to selectively move the patient table towards, into and away from the MR scanner.

The present disclosure relates to a transfer table assembly suitable for use in association with an MR scanner. The transfer table assembly includes a transfer table attached to a transfer table base that may releasably engage an incubator. The transfer table may be dimensionally constructed such that it may be inserted directly into an MR scanner.

The present disclosure relates to a transfer table assembly (200) and a transfer table cart (250) for use in scanning neonatal infants with an MR scanner (102), wherein the transfer table assembly (200) is attached to the transfer cart (250). The transfer table assembly comprises a MR-compatible transfer table (120) to support a neonate and a MR-compatible transfer table base (122). The transfer table assembly also has an external profile allowing insertion into an MR scanner. The transfer cart comprises a frame and wheel design permitting the transfer table cart to dock to the MRI scanner (102) allowing the transfer table assembly to be inserted into the magnet.

A transfer station is provided that is suitable for use in association with an incubator and an MR scanner for neonatal infants. The transfer station may include a transfer station platform attached atop a transfer station base. The transfer station may be placed between and an incubator and an MR scanner and may include mechanisms for engaging the incubator and the MR scanner. The transfer station may include a movable bed for a patient that may be placed in the MR scanner.

摘要:
An RF coil assembly for use in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner incorporates sound absorbing material in its construction for the purpose of attenuating the sound perceived by a patient lying inside the RF coil. Unlike a conventional RF coil assembly in which rigid components are used to support the coil within the magnet bore, the quiet RF coil assembly is constructed without rigid support components. In one embodiment, open cell foam may be used to support the RF coil components and the entire assembly is wrapped in a. flexible cloth-like material.
