Abstract
NMR apparatus for achieving construction of improved patient access. Facilities and methods of mobile and fixed site scanning.
Claims6
A method of scanning multiple patients, comprising:
- developing a magnetic field between a pair of ferromagnetic pole surfaces defining a patient-receiving space;
- disposing multiple patients adjacent to each other between said pair of pole surfaces and within the magnetic field in said patient-receiving space;
- exciting magnetic resonance signals within the patient while the patients are within the magnetic field;
- and
- receiving the magnetic resonance signals from the patients.
