Pneumatic sample feedway

A method of feeding of samples to an MRI device, said method comprising:

• a. providing a pneumatic sample feedway embeddable into a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device;
• said feedway comprising:
• i. a plurality of capsules configured for enclosing a biological tissue samples;
• ii. a conductor (drive) pipe connectable to a source of a compressed fluid;
• said pipe configured for receiving said a train of said capsules and pneumatically forwarding thereof into said MRI device;
• said pipe having a proximal terminal and distal terminal;
• said proximal configured for loading said train of capsules into said pipe;
• said distal termination is provided with a catch lock device;
• said lock device is configured for locking said train of capsules when a capsule contained in a magnetic field is measured and opening said catch lock device such that said train of capsules is displaced within said pipe and next capsule is fed for measurement;
• b. preparing samples to be measured by means of MRI device;
• c. placing said samples into sample capsules;
• d. loading said capsules into said pipe one by one (train);
• and
• e. feeding said capsules into a magnetic field of said MRI device;
• wherein said step of feeding said capsules comprises a step of discreetly displacing of said train of capsules such that said capsule train is locked when a capsule contained in a magnetic field is measured and displaced for one capsule distance between measurements.
