  • SPATIAL ENCODING ARRANGEMENT
    Publication number: 20230280427
    Abstract: A spatial encoding arrangement forming part of a low field magnetic resonance imaging system for generating a spatially encoded measurement field for use in a low field magnetic resonance imaging process, the low field magnetic resonance imaging system including a pre-polarisation magnet arrangement for generating a pre-polarisation field in a field-of-view and a measurement magnet arrangement for generating a measurement field in the field-of-view, the spatial encoding arrangement including at least one magnetic encoding element movable relative to the field-of-view to thereby spatially encode the measurement field for each of a plurality of readings.

  • Pre-polarisation magnet arrangement
    Patent number: 11333728
    Abstract: A pre-polarisation magnet arrangement for generating a pre-polarisation field for use in a low field magnetic resonance imaging process, the pre-polarisation magnet arrangement including a pre-polarisation field array including a plurality of permanent pre-polarisation magnets mounted in a support and provided in a circumferentially spaced arrangement surrounding an field of view, a number of the pre-polarisation magnets being movable between respective first and second positions, wherein in the first position the pre-polarisation magnets are configured as a cylindrical Halbach array to generate a pre-polarisation field in the field of view and in the second position the pre-polarisation magnets are configured to minimize the pre-polarisation field in the field of view.
