Abstract
The nuclear magnetic resonance system can include: a set of magnets, a housing, a set of coils (e.g., receive coil, transmit coil, gradient coil, active shim coil, etc.), and a processing system. The nuclear magnetic resonance method can include: applying a pulse sequence, acquiring a signal, and processing the signal (e.g., to determine blood analyte levels).
Claims20
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system, comprising:
- a set of magnets producing a magnetic field over a region of interest within a bore configured to receive a finger of a user;
- a transmitter;
- a receiver comprising a surface coil, wherein a central axis of the surface coil intersects with a pulp of the finger;
- and
- a processing system configured to:
- using the transmitter, transmit an electromagnetic pulse sequence;
- using the receiver, sample a receive signal;
- and
- determine a blood analyte concentration in the finger based on the receive signal.

A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system, comprising:
- a set of magnets supported by the housing, the magnets producing a magnetic field over a region of interest within a bore configured to receive a finger of a user;
- a set of coils comprising:
- a transmitter, a set of gradient coils, and a receiver;
- and
- a processing system communicatively coupled to the set of coils, the processing system configured to:
- using the transmitter, transmit a pulse sequence;
- using the set of gradient coils, transmit a sequence of gradient pulses configured to select a target region of the finger;
- using the receiver, sample a receive signal;
- and
- determine a blood analyte concentration in the target region of the finger based on the receive signal.
