Abstract: An imaging apparatus and methodologies image a subject using an MRI, wherein the imaging apparatus contains only a single sided device for the purposes of imaging structures in the subject.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide an apparatus and method for imaging breast tissue of a subject, wherein a subject is positioned on a structure so that at least a portion of the subject's body is supported by the structure, magnetic resonance imaging is performed on the portion of the subject's body using an MRI system including a plurality of MRI coils positioned in proximity to the structure, wherein, while the portion of the subject's body is positioned upon the structure, breast tissue of the subject's body is compressed in the proximity of plurality of MRI coils.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methodologies are provided that utilize at least one polarizing magnet controlled and positioned to polarize spins in a first region of interest, at least one gradient coil controlled and positioned to generate phase-encoding gradient pulses within a second region of interest, and at least one radiofrequency coil controlled and positioned to acquire radiofrequency signals from the second region of interest, wherein the at least one gradient coil and at least one radiofrequency coil may be controlled such that application of phase-encoding gradient pulses stops before acquisition of radiofrequency signals.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments enable apparatus and methodologies that are provided for three-dimensional construction of tissues in the body at locations internal to the body.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for magnetic particle manipulation enables the particle to be rotated and translated independently using magnetic fields and field gradients, which produce the desired decoupled translational and rotational motion. The apparatus and the method for manipulation may be implemented in parallel, involving many particles. The rotational magnetic field used to induce rotational motion may be varied to induce particle motion, which is either in phase or out of phase with the rotational magnetic field. The magnetic fields and gradients described herein may be generated with permanent magnets, electromagnets, or some combination of permanent magnets and electromagnets.
