    Abstract: An MRI image is generated base on a first MRI scan and a second MRI scan. Using corresponding first and second k-space grid data, at least one instance of subject movement during acquisition of scan line data as part of the first MRI scan or second MRI scan is identified. Motion sensor data is consulted to determine if each identified instance of subject movement was during the first MRI scan or the second MRI scan. Corrected k-space grid data is generated using the other k-space grid data on a scan line by scan line basis and a resulting MRI image is generated therefrom.

    Abstract: Generally, a system for soothing a baby during imaging by an imaging device is provided. The system can include: a capsule incubator for positioning the baby within the imaging device, the capsule incubator can include: a bottom portion having an inner surface, a bed positioned on top of the inner surface for positioning the baby thereon, and one or more members coupled to the bottom portion that are positioned in a first position to open the capsule incubator and a second position to close the capsule incubator; a vibrational device including a vibrational element that extends from outside of the capsule incubator into the capsule incubator and is coupled to the bed to cause the bed to vibrate with a predetermined vibrational frequency, thus causing the baby to vibrate with the predetermined vibrational frequency.

    Abstract: A neonate incubator for positioning a neonate within a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device is provided. The neonate incubator can include: a proximal end and a distal end; a radio frequency (RF) shielding door coupled to the distal end, the RF shielding door to mate with a bore of the MRI device to provide RF shielding; and a RF channel that extends along an axis that is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the neonate incubator from an interior chamber of the neonate incubator through the RF shielding door, the RF channel having a length to width ratio of at least 5 to 1.

    Abstract: A therapeutic hyperthermia device and method for using the same includes a cooling blanket dimensioned to at least partially cover a human, a conduit coupled to the cooling blanket, and cooling liquid. Each of the cooling blanket, conduit, and cooling liquid have a negligible effect on a magnetic resonance (MR) image taken by an MRI device. The cooling liquid may have a spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) and a spin-spin relaxation time (T2), where either or both of T1 and T2 are less than 2 milliseconds in duration. The cooling liquid may be one of water with manganite chloride, and water with sodium chloride.
