摘要:
A system wirelessly supplies electrical power to an RF coil and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for an MRI system. The system supplies power to at least operate the RF coil and ADC without the use of a battery and without use of a wired connection external to the bore of the magnet.

摘要:
Optical performance measurements are taken in an optical network and displayed in a form that allows an operator to enter fault information related to the measurements, or to automatically generate fault alarms to the operator, based on processing of the measurements. The optical measurements may be individual power measurements taken for each light-path at various points in each node it traverses, such as amplifiers, multiplexers/demultiplexers or at an interface with another node.
摘要:
A system and method for optical data transmission between MR scanning equipment and a data processing unit includes a silicon-based optical modulator which receives MR signals from RF coils and encodes them onto an optical carrier for transmission over an optical link for image reconstruction. The silicon-based optical modulator may be integrated into an electrical connection of the MR scanning equipment. A faster data transfer with lower susceptibility to noise is thus achieved.

A system and method for optical transmission of ultrasound data signals from a probe to an image processing system is provided. By using a silicon-based optical modulator to encode ultrasound data signals onto an optical signal, an optical transmission link between the ultrasound probe and the image processing system can achieve a high signal to noise ratio with a lower power input.
摘要:
An optical network incorporates one of wavelength based or lightpath link based pre-emphasis to reduce the power fluctuation range at optical receivers in the network. Power output from channel transmitters can be varied on a per channel basis to minimize the effects of non-constant per-channel gain as a function of wavelength. Pre-emphasis circuitry coupled to the transmitters imposes an optical power profile on transmitter output in accordance with an inverse of the gain characteristic of network amplifier elements raised to an exponent which is equal to or less than the number of spans through which an optical signal is transmitted.
