Advancing MRI with an open inhomogeneous B0 magnet
Project Summary/Abstract The aim of this proposal is to enhance the technical development of an open MRI system that can be integrated into an exam table in a doctor's office, allowing MRI scans to be used similarly to ultrasound. This open-low-field MRI is silent and can produce high-quality images of any organ with the patient lying flat on the examination bed or standing for weighted spine or limb imaging with the device wall-mounted. Developing a small-footprint compact and low-cost MRI system allows MRI to be moved from hospitals to doctors' offices, with the impact that MRI could become more accessible to a wider population. This proposal combines developments in MR imaging with…
