摘要： A circuit for selectively disabling and enabling n-coils includes n-drivers in a totem-pole configuration. Each of the n-drivers includes two transistors whose control terminals connect at a common node. Each n-driver is used to operate one of the n-coils by being responsive at its common node to (i) a coil disable signal by activating one transistor thereof and deactivating the other transistor thereof thereby drawing current away from and thus disabling its corresponding coil and allowing current to flow through the one transistor and thus be available as a source of current to a successive one of the n-drivers and (ii) a coil enable signal by deactivating the one transistor thereof and activating the other transistor thereof thereby allowing current to flow serially through its corresponding coil and the other transistor thus enabling its corresponding coil and to be available as a source of current to the successive n-driver.

摘要： An interface that couples a surface coil array having N receiving elements to an NMR scanner having M preamplifier inputs. The interface includes an RF switch array and a transmit/receive bias circuit. The RF switch array and the transmit/receive bias circuit are controlled by a control logic circuit. In response to a predetermined input, the control logic circuit causes a predetermined subset of the N receiving elements to be couple to the preamplifier inputs of the NMR scanner.

摘要： An apparatus for enabling operation of adjacent coil loops with a magnetic resonance system. The apparatus includes a correction network interconnecting the coil loops for enabling both concurrent and separate operation of the coil loops. The correction network includes an input network for each coil loop and an isolation circuit. Each input network includes a balun and an active decoupling circuit for interconnecting the coil loop and balun. The balun links the input network to the MR system. The active decoupling circuits are capable of being (A) activated concurrently thereby disabling both loops during the transmit cycle, (B) deactivated concurrently thereby enabling each loop to receive MR signals during the receive cycle and (C) deactivated/activated separately thereby enabling either one but not both loops to receive MR signals during the receive cycle. The isolation circuit interconnects the loops for substantially canceling mutual inductance between them while they are enabled concurrently.

摘要： An apparatus enables a patient to be positioned optimally for a scanning procedure during which images are to be obtained of the vasculature of the patient. The apparatus includes a lumbar support, a tray, and a leg support. The lumbar support allows the renal portion of the vasculature to be positioned predominately in a single plane. The tray allows the pelvic and femoral portions of the vasculature to be positioned substantially coplanar with each other and with the renal portion of the vasculature. The leg support allows the lower leg and feet portions of the vasculature to be positioned substantially coplanar with each other and with the pelvic and femoral portions of the vasculature. The substantial coplanar alignment of the portions of the vasculature enables the images thereof to be obtained with a smaller field of view and thus at least one of greater resolution and reduced scanning time.
