  • Iron-free variable torque motor compatible with magnetic resonance imaging in integrated SPECT and MR imaging
    Patent number: 8536865
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing dual modality SPECT/MRI imaging on an object in combination with a whole-body MRI system includes a collimated nuclear radiation detector for receiving radiation from the object, and a radiofrequency MRI coil enveloping the object and interfaced with the collimated nuclear radiation detector. The MRI coil and collimated detector are arranged and configured for disposition within the whole-body MRI system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2010
    Date of Patent: September 17, 2013
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Werner N. Roeck, Orhan Nalcioglu
