摘要： A method and apparatus (100) for vibrating an organ and/or tissue and/or region of a subject's body (202) without a mechanical transmission to characterize at least one mechanical property of the region and/or tissue and/or organ, the apparatus (100) includes: elements (114-118) for generating a pressure wave of a given frequency in a gaseous medium, and waveguide elements (106) for guiding, in a gaseous medium, the pressure wave from the generating elements (114-118) to a human or animal body (202). Wave guiding in the airways of a human or animal body and tissue displacement mapping, anisotropy, and mechanical property characterizing systems (300) and methods are also described.

摘要： The apparatus (1) is constituted by: device (3) for creating a homogeneous main magnetic static field (HO) orientated along a determined direction (Oz) in which static field there is placed the body (2) to be examined; devices for creating magnetic field gradients in a space of the body to be examined along three directions of the space; radio frequency excitation device (E) and a device (R) for the detection of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals produced by the body to be examined. The one, (Dx) of the devices for creating the gradients is constituted by a unilateral system wherein the device (6) for creating the magnetic field gradient along one direction (Ox) of the space are entirely situated on one and the same side of an "open" surface (P) while the body to be examined (2) is situated on the side of the surface (P) which is opposite to that where the device (6) is located, which are capable of creating a transverse gradient in relation to the direction (Oz) of the main static field, on the side of the surface where the body ( 2) to be examined is situated. Such a device (Dx) is particularly suitable for NMR imaging of the human skin.

摘要： The present invention relates to antennas for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging devices. The antenna (10) of the invention essentially is formed of two support plates (11, 12) made of electrically insulating material. Spacers (13) hold the two plates at a fixed distance apart in two parallel planes, and releasably fixing at least one of the two plates (11) to the spacer means (13). At least first and second turns (17, 18) of electrically conductive material are fixed on respective first faces (15, 16) of the two plates in order to form two current loops substantially centered on a common axis (100) perpendicular to the faces with capacitive coupling together of the ends of each current loop. The invention is applicable to scanners, in particular for scanning the human brain.
