Abstract: A device, system and method for generating pulsed electric fields with high uniformity are provided. The electric fields occupy a large volume, suitable for placing a human or animal patient. A device for generating the electric fields is provided, which comprises a plurality of ring structures made of an electrically conductive material, wherein the ring structures are charged to different voltage levels. The device generates an electric field of high uniformity in the interior region of the ring structures when pulsed with electrical currents. These electric field pulses, when used in conjunction with pharmacological agents, destroy cancer cells through a process called targeted osmotic lysis.

Abstract: An infant transporter includes a transporter base, a support member secured to the base, and a housing supported by the support member. The housing includes a radio frequency coil adapted to emit a radio frequency configured to enable magnetic resonance imaging. The infant transporter exclusively comprises components that are magnetic resonance imaging compatible.

Abstract: A conducting wire assembly (80) is provided for use with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (10). The conducting wire assembly (80) includes at least one impedance component (82) coupled externally to a conducting wire (34). The impedance component (82) is configured to dynamically vary an impedance of the conducting wire to disrupt resonant conditions of the conducting wire and to avoid current and/or voltage built-up on the wire and the associated heating of surrounding tissue.
