Abstract: A communication method is provided. The communication method includes generating a pseudo background sound signal based on a gradient pulse control signal, performing a computation of subtracting the pseudo background sound signal from an acoustic signal having a sound signal and a background sound signal including a gradient coil drive sound signal, the acoustic signal obtained by an input device configured to receive the voice of a subject, and outputting sound based on a result of the computation, wherein a parameter of generating the pseudo background sound signal is controlled to reduce the difference resulting from the subtraction.

Abstract: A medical imaging apparatus having multiple image projecting units for projecting images for a subject to view is disclosed. The medical imaging apparatus is present in a scanning room for performing imaging of the subject. The medical imaging apparatus includes a table for holding the subject. The table along with the subject is facilitated by an image capturing subsystem to pass therethrough for capturing medical images of the subject. The multiple image projecting units are configured within the image capturing subsystem for projecting images to one or more of walls of the scanning room and an inner surface of the image capturing subsystem.
