Utility
Operation of the magnet of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system
6 Jan 20
Some implementations provide a method for safe operation of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the method including: determining, at least in part by using a sensor device, location information that indicates a location of an MR-incompatible object relative to the MRI system, the MRI system generating a polarizing magnetic field for imaging a subject; based on the determined location information, determining, by a control unit associated with the MRI system, that the MR-incompatible object poses an operational hazard to the MRI system; and in response to determining that the MR-incompatible object poses an operational hazard to the MRI system, reducing, by the control unit, a strength of the polarizing magnetic field.

Utility
System and Method for Imaging Macrophage Activity Using Delta Relaxation Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging
11 Dec 19
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system is provided for imaging immune response of soft tissue to therapy by, prior to therapy, administering a contrast agent to the soft tissue; imaging a region of interest using delta relaxation enhanced magnetic resonance (DREMR) to define a functional section; selectively sampling local cells in the functional section; conducting immuno-assay analysis on the sampled local cells; and following therapy, further imaging said region of interest using DREMR to assess immune response of said cells to therapy.
