    摘要: An invasive device having an inductive coupling element. One embodiment of the invasive device includes a plurality of receive coils inductively coupled to a communicating coil. The receive coils are selectively tuned and detuned to receive MR signals for providing coordinate information used for device tracking. A second embodiment of the invasive device includes a receive coil having a plurality of winding elements separated from each other by different distances. A method of rapidly acquiring both the invasive device orientation and position information to dynamically adapt MR scan planes to continuously follow the invasive device relative to a target is provided. The target-navigation technique automatically defines the MR scan plane and a time domain multiplexing technique is applied for MR imaging and device tracking. Using these techniques, the acquired MR images shows both the invasive device and the target tissue.

    摘要: A method for correcting MRI motion artifacts and main field fluctuations. A series of data prints are acquired at read points along a radial axis to form a view (210). Subsequent views define a NMR data set. A processor stores the NMR data set and reconstructs an image array from a stored NMR data set by; a) reconstructing the NMR data set along a radial axis; b) producing a correction data array including correction values where each of the correction values is calculated as a function of the corresponding stored NMR datum and the stored NMR datum for the intersection of the first and subsequent projection (200) axes; c) applying the data in the correction array to the NMR data set to produce a final NMrR data set.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (100) performs optimized chemical-shift excitation. A computer system (110) performs a constrained numerical optimization to determine radio frequency (RF) pulse amplitudes, phase angles, and interpulse intervals for a binomial-like RF pulse sequence that will excite magnetization (41) of a selective one of two chemical species, such as water and fat for example, of a subject (102) in relatively less time and that may therefore be used at lower magnetic fields. A static magnet (132) produces a magnetic field along a predetermined axis relative to the subject Pulse sequence apparatus (134, 152, 154, 156, 158) creates magnetic field gradients with the magnetic field, applies RF pulsed magnetic fields, and receives resulting RF magnetic resonance (MR) signals. Pulse sequence control apparatus (142) controls the pulse sequence apparatus to apply the binomial-like RF pulse sequence to the subject. The computer system reconstructs an image from received RF MR signals resulting from application of the binomial-like RF pulse sequence.

    摘要: An integrated regulated current drive circuit for driving a squib of an inflatable airbag has a current sense resistor connected in series with a load, and a reference resistor connected in series with a reference current source. Both resistors are matched to define a precise ratio of resistance values which determines the amount of current fed to the squib. Both resistors are implemented by combining a number of identical on-chip resistor elements.
