    摘要: Apparatus associated with improved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided needle biopsy procedures (e.g., breast needle biopsy) are described. One example apparatus includes a support structure configured to support a patient in a face-down prone position where a breast of the patient is positioned in a first free hanging pre-imaging position. The example apparatus includes an immobilization structure configured to reposition the breast into an immobilized position suitable for MRI and for medical instrument access. The immobilization structure may include a biopsy plate, a pressure plate, and MRI coils. The MRI coils are configured to be repositioned from a first position associated with the free hanging pre-imaging position to a second position associated with the immobilized position to facilitate improving the signal to noise ratio associated with signal received from the breast through the MRI coils. The biopsy plate is removable without removing either of the MRI coils.

    摘要: An RFID tag for use with an MRI machine has an integrated circuit and structure for protecting it from damage when exposed to an intense MRI RF transmitter field. The structure for protecting the integrated circuit may include a controllable low impedance device coupled across the integrated circuit, a controllable high impedance device coupled in series with the integrated circuit, and/or frequency selective RF filter.

    摘要: An MRI RF transmit system uses a plurality of RF transmit coils, each being driven with separately controllable RF magnitude and phase. The magnitude and phase of each coil drive are separately and independently controlled so that the RF transmit coils act as if they are decoupled from each other. The controlled magnitude and phase values may be based on empirically derived information relating to self and mutual coupling of RF transmit coils.
