  • Patent number: 5877732
    Abstract: A three-dimensional high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) video and audio system employed within the magnetic field of a bore of an MRI scanner to provide video images via a relay lens system and corresponding audible sound via a non-magnetic path to an MRI patient. The invention provides non-magnetic video sources and audio speakers for generating the images and sound, respectively, and includes a first non-magnetic shielded generating mechanism positioned within the magnetic field of the bore for providing a video image. A first optical mechanism captures and transmits the generated video image to provide a high resolution video image. A second optical mechanism magnifies and redirects the high resolution video image for viewing by the patient. A second non-magnetic shielded generating mechanism is positioned within the magnetic field of the bore for providing audible sound over the full frequency range.
