  • Patent number: 5709207
    Abstract: Audio information is spoken into a microphone and saved in digitized form in an electronic file. The digitized information is converted into a format which is usable within a particular MRI system. Thereafter, a electronically store pulse sequence, useable within the selected MRI system, is selected and edited to incorporate the converted digitized verbal information and appropriate header information. When the edited pulse sequence is operated by the MRI system, audio information is projected which can be heard by the human ear using the elements of an existing MRI system.
