Advanced MRI Engineering

高级核磁共振工程。磁共振成像正迅速成为软组织损伤的首选医学成像方式。然而，MRI的技术发展相对年轻，只有20年左右的商业发展。该项目的主要目的是通过技术创新为这一代和下一代MRI扫描仪做出贡献。新的工程设计方法将被开发和用于产生新的超导磁体系统和相关设备。设计工作的一个重点将是在设备设计中包括病人的电磁模型。这不仅可以确保提高MRI扫描的准确性和速度，还可以提高患者的安全性、舒适性和临床医生的可及性。

Advanced MRI Engineering. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is rapidly becoming the medical imaging modality of choice for soft tissue injuries. The technology development of MRI, however, is relatively young with only 20 years or so of commercial development. The major aim of this project is to contribute to this and the next generation of MRI scanners through technical innovation. New engineering design methods will be developed and used to generate novel superconducting magnet systems and associated equipment. A strong focus of the design work will be to include electromagnetic models of the patient in the equipment design. This will not only ensure improved accuracy and speed of MRI scans, but also better patient safety, comfort and clinician access.
