High Resolution Neuro-MRI

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将开发和制造一种逼真的床旁神经MRI扫描仪，该扫描仪具有专门设计用于基于现代低成本磁体对人脑和颈椎进行成像的新型架构，其特点是易于操作且运营成本低。一旦扫描仪的功能被证明，扫描仪可以用来成像头部的其他部分，除了大脑。此外，我们提出的扫描仪有一个通孔，允许对大部分公众进行全身扫描，并为农村地区和服务不足地区的公众提供MRI扫描。我们打算开发的扫描仪将在任何有电的地方工作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program will develop and manufacture a realistic Point-of-Care Neurological MRIScanner with a novel architecture specifically designed for imaging a human brain and C-spine based on a modern low cost magnet, which features ease of operation and low operating cost. Once the functionality of the scanner is demonstrated, the scanner can be used to image other parts of the head in addition to the brain. Also, the scanner that we propose has a through bore and allows whole-body scanning on a large fraction of the human public and offers MRI scans to the public in the rural locations as well as under-served areas. The scanner we intend to develop will work wherever there can be electricity.
