项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this Fast Track project is to combine innovations in superconducting magnet design and new developments in solid state MRI to create a highly compact, robust, mobile, lightweight, and affordable MRI for scanning the peripheral skeleton, including the knee, of the majority of the public. This scanner will use a unique, cryogen-free 3-bore actively shielded superconducting magnet that makes the scanner a realistic "point-of- care" device that can be installed in smaller clinics, or even a doctor's ofice. The proposed scanner uses an innovative magnet design that allows the patient to have both legs comfortably stretched out into two separate warm bores of magnet. The combination of proven technologies in design and manufacturing of high-field (1.5T and higher) cryogen-free MRI magnets and the innovative 3-bore scanner will provide a significant breakthrough in providing a versatile, realistic point-of-care 1.5 T knee-accessible extremity MRI to the aging public.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个快速轨道项目的总体目标是将超导磁铁设计的创新和固态MRI的新发展结合在一起，以创建一个高度紧凑，健壮，移动，轻巧和负担得起的MRI，以扫描包括膝盖，包括公众的膝盖，大型公众的膝盖。该扫描仪将使用独特的，无冷冻的3孔的主动屏蔽超导磁铁，使扫描仪成为现实的“护理点”设备，可以安装在较小的诊所，甚至是医生的Ofice。拟议的扫描仪使用创新的磁铁设计，使患者可以舒适地伸展到两个单独的温暖磁铁中。在高场（1.5 t及更高）无低温MRI磁铁和创新的3孔扫描仪的设计和制造中，经过验证的技术的结合将为老化的公众提供多功能，现实的1.5 t膝关节的肢体MRI，为老化的公众提供了重大突破。
