Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080197848Rf Volume Coil With Selectable Field of View - A radio frequency coil for magnetic resonance imaging or spectroscopy includes a plurality of generally parallel conductive members (08-21-2008
20080265889Multiple-Channel Transmit Magnetic Resonance - In a transmit apparatus, a multi-channel radio frequency transmitter (10-30-2008
20080312526HYBRID PET/MR IMAGING SYSTEMS - A hybrid imaging system includes a magnetic resonance scanner and a second modality imaging system disposed in the same radio frequency isolation space. The second modality imaging system includes radiation detectors configured to detect at least one of high energy particles and high energy photons. In some embodiments a retractable radio frequency screen is selectively extendible into a gap between the magnetic resonance scanner and the second modality imaging system. In some embodiments shim coils are disposed with the magnetic resonance scanner and are configured to compensate for distortion of the static magnetic field of the magnetic resonance scanner produced by proximity of the second modality imaging system.12-18-2008

20090209844PATIENT BED FOR PET/MR IMAGING SYSTEMS - A hybrid imaging system and a patient bed for same are disclosed. The hybrid imaging system includes a magnetic resonance scanner and a second modality imaging system spaced apart from the magnetic resonance scanner by a gap. In some embodiments, the gap is less than seven meters. The patient bed is disposed at least partially in the gap between the magnetic resonance scanner and the second modality imaging system, and includes a linearly translatable patient support pallet aligned to be selectively moved into an examination region of the magnetic resonance scanner for magnetic resonance imaging and into an examination region of the second modality imaging system for second modality imaging. In some embodiments, a linear translation range of the linearly translatable pallet is less than five times a length of the patient support pallet along the direction of linear translation.08-20-2009
