    摘要: Influence of RF noise and external magnetic field on the image quality of a portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (1) are to be avoided. This is achieved by providing a system and a computer-implemented method for determining an optimized position and/or orientation of a portable MRI system (1) for an MR imaging process in a medical environment (2), comprising at least one RF noise sensor (3), wherein the RF noise sensor (3) is configured for measuring RF noise in the medical environment (2) and to provide sensor data, at least one magnetic field sensor (4), wherein the magnetic field sensor (4) is configured to measure the external magnetic field in the medical environment (2) and to provide sensor data, a processor unit (5), wherein the sensors (3, 4) are connected to the processor unit (5), the processor unit (5) comprising at least one memory (6) for storing instructions, at least one processor (7) configured to execute the instructions to cause the following to be performed: measuring RF noise and the external magnetic field in the medical environment by means of corresponding sensors (3, 4), evaluating the sensor data and creating spatial distributions of the measured RF noise and/or the measured external magnetic field in the medical environment (2), determining a position and/or orientation of the portable MRI system (1) in the medical environment (2) for an MR imaging process based on the spatial distributions of the measured RF noise and/or the measured external magnetic field.

    摘要: One embodiment of the invention includes a magnetic solenoid. The magnetic solenoid includes an elongated sidewall that extends along and surrounds a central axis between spaced apart ends. The central axis can include a center point that is approximately equidistant from the spaced apart ends. The magnetic solenoid also includes a conductive coil that extends along and conforms to the elongated sidewall and comprises a plurality of consecutive loops centered on the central axis. The plurality of consecutive loops can have a consecutive loop-spacing that is non-uniform along the central axis and having a substantial maximum spacing value at approximately the center point.
