    摘要: A transport system for dry nanoparticles (18b). According to the invention, the nanoparticles (18b) are magnetized or electrically charged for transportation, a magnetic or electrical field is produced by a field generator (20a, 20) in the transport channel, and the nanoparticles (18b) migrate through the transport channel (12). The nanoparticles can be discharged through a discharge opening (13) which enables dosing to take place. In order to agglomerate the nanoparticles (18b) or to prevent attachment onto the inner wall (26), a coating (27) of the wall can be offset in oscillations by piezo electric actuators (28), the oscillations being transferred to the nanoparticles (18b). The dry nanoparticles can be handled in an advantageous manner due to the transport system, such that the dry nanoparticles need not be treated as a suspension.

    摘要: A magnetic structure generating a uniform magnetic field within a region of interest using permanently magnetized prism-shaped blocks of magnetic material positioned around a cavity and which constitute the predominant generator of the uniform magnetic field in the desired region of interest. The magnetic structure has a plane surface comprising a high permeability ferromagnetic member interfacing with a first side of the cavity and forming a single pole piece of the magnetic structure. The magnetic structure produces within the cavity adjacent the single pole piece the uniform magnetic field and collects the magnetic flux flowing through the single pole piece and through the cavity, with the region of interest being located adjacent the single pole piece. A second side of the cavity generally opposite to the first side is open to a surrounding medium and forms an interface with the surrounding medium but not with a magnetic member. The magnetic structure is designed assuming a hypothetical high permeability membrane parallel to the single pole piece and located where the open second side of the cavity will be made, the high permeability membrane forming an equipotential surface at the interface with the surrounding medium. This minimizes the fringe field generated in the surrounding medium when the second side of the cavity is opened.

    摘要: A magnetic structure generating a substantially uniform magnetic field within a region of interest using permanently magnetized wedge-shaped blocks of magnetic material. In a preferred embodiment, the permanently magnetized wedge-shaped blocks are provided in pairs positioned on opposite sides of the x z plane of an arbitrary x,y,z coordinate system, and each of the blocks are magnetized in certain directions. The uniform field is created in the vicinity of the z axis. In another embodiment, the parts of the structure below the x-axis are replaced by a high-permeability, soft magnetic plate to form a so-called mirror system. In still another embodiment, permanently magnetized blocks positioned outside of the wedge-shaped blocks are employed as the main compensation means for field distortions arising from the practical need to truncate the wedge-shaped blocks to a practical size. An important application for the magnetic structure of the invention is MRI, as it can be configured as an open structure accessible to medical intervention during the MRI.

    摘要: Strapped open magnetic structure, particularly useful in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging applications, which provides a substantially uniform magnetic field within a region of interest while allowing access by a surgeon to a patient via an opening at the top of the magnetic structure. The magnetic structure comprises nested inner and outer magnetic structures separated by ferromagnetic material or pole pieces and surrounded by a ferromagnetic yoke. The structure contains one or more thin layers or straps of high magnetic permeability material aligned substantially along equipotential surface(s) of an associated closed magnetic structure of ideal properties. Structures and techniques are also provided for replacing thick, heavy blocks of ferromagnetic material with thin straps and for extending the magnetostatic potential of a component in a magnetic structure by connecting a thin strap thereto and embedding the strap in the magnetic structure along an equipotential surface of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic structure.

    摘要: Exemplary method, system, and computer-accessible medium can be provided for determining a measure of diffusional kurtosis by receiving data relating to at least one diffusion weighted image, and determining a measure of a diffusional kurtosis as a function of the received data using a closed form solution procedure. In accordance with certain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, provided herein are computer-accessible medium, systems and methods for, e.g., imaging in an MRI system, and, more particularly for facilitating estimation of tensors and tensor-derived measures in diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI). For example, DKI can facilitate a characterization of non-Gaussian diffusion of water molecules in biological tissues. The diffusion and kurtosis tensors parameterizing the DKI model can typically be estimated via unconstrained least squares (LS) methods. In the presence of noise, motion, and imaging artifacts, these methods can be prone to producing physically and/or biologically implausible tensor estimates. The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure can address at least this deficiency by formulating an exemplary estimation problem, e.g., as linearly constrained linear LS, where the constraints can ensure acceptable tensor estimates.
