Claims20
A portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comprising:
- a magnet configured to generate a magnetic field, the magnet, the magnet comprising a portable magnet transportable on a cart;
- and
- at least one coil assembly disposed in relation to the magnet, each at least one coil assembly comprising at least one gradient coil.
A method of imaging by way of a portable magnetic imaging (MRI) system, comprising:
- placing a portion of the subject in relation to at least one coil assembly disposed in relation to a magnet that is configured to generate a magnetic field, placing comprising providing the magnet, and providing the magnet comprising providing a portable magnet transportable on a cart;
- and
- initiating an imaging sequence to image the subject using the at least one coil assembly and the magnet.
A method of providing a portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comprising:
- providing a magnet configured to generate a magnetic field, providing the magnet comprising providing a portable magnet transportable on a cart;
- and
- providing at least one coil assembly disposed in relation to the magnet, providing the at least one coil assembly comprising providing at least one gradient coil, providing the at least one coil assembly and the magnet comprising providing the annular coil assembly and the magnet as rotatable relative to each other.
