Abstract: A shutting assembly for a magnetic resonance imaging device (MRD) bore aperture, comprising at least one first movable portion and at least one second portion affixed to the MRD, wherein the shutting assembly further comprising a normally closed or normally open sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism couples at least one first moveable portion to at least one second portion affixed to the MRD, thereby enabling a reciprocal movement of at least one first moveable portion parallel to the MRD bore aperture in an upwards and downwards directions in respect to at least one second portion affixed to the MRD.

Abstract: A radiofrequency (RF) shielding channel for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device is provided. The RF shielding channel can include at least one conductive layer having a proximal end and a distal end. The RF shielding channel can include a connector to removably attach the proximal end of the at least one conductive layer to a bore of the MRI device. The at least one conductive layer can be extended in a longitudinal direction with respect to the bore of the MRI device between a first predetermined longitudinal dimension and a second predetermined longitudinal dimension, such that a RF shield is formed from the bore of the MRI device to the distal end of the at least one conductive layer. The RF shield can prevent an external RF radiation from entering the bore of the MRI device and/or an RF radiation emitted by the MRI device from exiting the bore.

Abstract: Systems and methods for simultaneous acquisition of MRI data and PET data of a subject are disclosed. The system can include a RF coil surrounding the subject and a PET detectors array surrounding the RF coil to generate the MRI data and the PET data of the subject, respectively. The system can include a RF shield positioned between the RF coil and the PET detectors array to prevent an interference between the RF coil and the PET detectors array to thereby allow simultaneous acquisition of the MRI data and the PET data without any one of the RF coil, the PET detectors array or the subject being moved during the imaging. The system can include an analysis unit to generate, based on the simultaneously acquired MRI data and PET data, combined PET-MRI images of the subject that include a spatially and temporally registered structural, functional and/or molecular data acquired under identical physiological conditions.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for providing values for control signals for a pulsed magnetic resonance spectrometer such as an NMR spectrometer or an MRI apparatus. The AC output(s) corresponding to a particular signal (e.g. a magnetization or gradient pulse or pulse sequence) originating from a source spectrometer is measured and stored by an independent control unit. The digital output of the independent control unit is then connected to the digital input of the control electronics of a target pulsed magnetic resonance spectrometer, the value of the digital output varied until the AC output(s) of the appropriate signal source of the target spectrometer matches that of the corresponding output(s) of the source spectrometer, corrected, if necessary, for differences in magnetic field strengths.

Abstract: A method of determining a NMR prediction result of a sample is provided. The method can include receiving a NMR spectrum of the sample and/or identifying a section of a ppm range in the NMR spectrum having a non-stationary peak. The method can include determining a modified data point for the NMR spectrum based on data points in the identified section. The modified data point can be determined such that the modified data point is a weighted average value of the data points in the identified section in the NMR spectrum. The method can include replacing the identified section in the NMR spectrum with the modified data point for the NMR spectrum to determine a modified NMR spectrum. The method can include determining the NMR prediction result of the sample based on the modified NMR spectrum and a calibration vector (e.g., using a partial least square (PLS) analysis).
