  • Magnetic resonance imaging system, apparatus and associated methods
    Patent number: 7812607
    Abstract: In one aspect, a magnet comprising a pair of pole supports spaced apart from one another and extending in a generally horizontal direction. The magnet includes a pair of flux return members extending between the pole supports so as to define a frame, each of the flux return members including a first columnar section that extends parallel to the polar axis and a second columnar section that extends perpendicular to the polar axis and projects towards the pole. In another aspect, a magnetic resonance imaging system comprises a ferromagnetic frame that is operative to support an upper pole member and a lower pole member along a vertical polar axis such that a gap is defined between the upper and lower pole members and an access floor that is isolated from the ferromagnetic frame and pole members for providing access to the gap.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 15, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 12, 2010
    Assignee: Fonar Corporation
    Inventors: Raymond V. Damadian, William H. Wahl, Hank Hsieh, Gordon T. Danby, John W. Jackson, Jevan Damadian, Luciano B. Bonanni, Mark Gelbien, Keith Saboe
