  • Patent number: 9226685
    Abstract: The invention relates to an MRI system, comprising: an examination table including a cradle in which a patient may be positioned; a magnetic assembly disposed in the examination table and including first and second electrode assemblies, the respective electrode surfaces of which are disposed so as to be perpendicularly spaced apart by a certain distance and opposite each other such that space for imaging may be formed therebetween; and an RF coil unit contactingly or contactlessly attached to a part of a patient to be examined or an attached part corresponding to the part to be examined, applying an RF pulse to the part of the patient to be examined, and detecting an MR signal from the examined part.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7408354
    Abstract: A phantom for evaluating a magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) performance is provided. Specifically, a phantom for evaluating an MRS performance capable of quantitatively evaluating a resolution of a spectrum obtained when a chemical shift imaging MRS measurement process is performed is provided. The phantom evaluates MRS performance using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus, and includes: an external container having an opened upper end; internal containers which are disposed in the external container and constructed so as to include metabolites; and an external container cover for covering the upper end of the external container.
