Abstract: An apparatus for imaging the inner part of a body, particularly for diagnostic imaging thereof, including at least means for imaging and displaying images according to at least one type of beams, waves or signals transmitted toward a body or a part thereof to be examined, the said means being means for generating at least one type of waves or beams which are transmitted toward the body or the part thereof to be internally imaged and means for receiving said type of waves or beams transmitted by the body under examination or by the part thereof or deriving from the excitation of said part or body under examination, from the reflection and/or transmission and/or modification of waves, of the beams transmitted against said body under examination or the part thereof;

Abstract: The invention relates to a Faraday cage, particularly for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance applications, having walls which delimit a room, said walls being at least partially made of an electrically conductive material and connected to the ground or to a predetermined potential. According to the invention, the Faraday cage has a floor which rests at least partly on the ground and has such a construction that the weight is spread all over its surface. According to a further characteristic, the floor wall is load-bearing and preferably consists of crossed load-bearing beams and load bearing panels therebetween. The floor is electrically conductive and is connected at least electrically to the other walls of the cage.

Abstract: A method of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging includes the formation of a panoramic image or an image of a wide region of the body under examination, by obtaining a certain number of images (I, I′, I″, I′″) from several limited regions of the body under examination (C) and by combining said images in a panoramic image (P). The individual images (I, I′, I″, I′″) are obtained by moving the body under examination (C) in a certain direction and to a predetermined extent relative to the magnetic structure (1) and/or to the imaging volume (1) generated thereby.

Abstract: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging apparatus of the type for imaging specific parts of the body, the device including a magnetic structure (1), having a cavity (101) for accommodating the limb part to be examined, which may be accessed from the outside, and in which, or at least in one part of which (V) the necessary magnetic fields are generated.
