摘要: A local frequency generator employing a single crystal oscillator, latches and direct digital synthesizer circuits digitally produces all signals needed in the transmitter channel of a MRI system to generate MRI transmitter RF pulses. The local frequency generator is operable in both the single side band and double side band modes and has the capability of switching between the modes. The generator is constructed with a phase resetting capability for providing the plural output frequencies needed for making plural MRI slices.

摘要: A front end unit (32) for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (20) comprises a plurality of coil attachment ports (46) to which an RF signal or tuning signal is selectively routed thereby permitting, during operation, coils (22) to remain attached to each of the plurality of ports. A signal routing controller (28, 30) selects to which of the ports the RF signal or tuning signal is to be routed. The RF front end Knit (32) is also known as the relay switchboard assembly or RSB. Each port of the RF front end is attached to a different RF coil or RF coil combination. Tuning and imaging operations can be conducted for a plurality of coils in succession, without coils having to be detached from the RF front end. The signal routing controller selectively applies the RF signal (from an RF unit) or the tuning signal (from a tuning controller) to the selected coil through a signal path unique to the selected coil. Coils not selected to be operative can be detuned.

摘要: Apparatus for radiation therapy combines a patient table, an MRI and a radiation treatment apparatus mounted in a common treatment room with the MR magnet movable from a position outside a radiation shielded door to an imaging position. An RF-shielded door is movable between a position, separating part of the treatment apparatus from the magnet and an open position allowing access of the patient to the treatment apparatus. In one configuration there is a row of treatment rooms and the magnet is mounted to move along a passageway outside the row of radiation shielded doors of the rooms.
