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）：该快速通道项目的总体目标是将超导磁体设计的创新与固态 MRI 的新发展相结合，创建高度紧凑、坚固、移动、轻便且价格实惠的 MRI，用于扫描外周骨骼，包括大多数公众的膝盖。该扫描仪将使用独特的无冷冻剂 3 孔主动屏蔽超导磁体，使扫描仪成为现实的“护理点”设备，可以安装在较小的诊所，甚至医生的办公室中。所提出的扫描仪采用创新的磁铁设计，使患者能够将双腿舒适地伸展到两个独立的温暖磁铁孔中。高场（1.5T 及更高）无冷冻剂 MRI 磁体的设计和制造方面的成熟技术与创新的 3 孔扫描仪的结合，将在提供多功能、现实的护理点 1.5 T 膝关节方面取得重大突破- 为老年人提供可及的肢体 MRI。
