  • Method for controlling radio frequency excitation and gradient pulse characteristics in a magnetic resonance imaging system
    Patent number: 5068786
    Abstract: A pattern generator and controller arrangement operates for controlling the component parts of an MRI system. The arrangement comprises a plurality of channels including a main control channel and output channels. The arrangement receives instructions from the system CPU which then leaves the control and outputting to the arrangement, thereby avoiding the necessity of a large expensive CPU to operate the system with versatility and speed.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 26, 1991
    Assignee: Elscint Ltd.
    Inventors: Zvi Netter, Menachem Bar-Lev
