Embodiment Construction
[0063]As will be described in detail below, various embodiments of a method for transferring data and a system for transferring data are provided. By employing the methods and systems for communicating data described below, system size and complexity can be minimized while improving system performance.
[0064] Turn now to the accompanying drawings, and see figure 1 , depicts a block diagram of one embodiment of the MRI imaging system 10 . MRI system 10 is schematically shown to include scanner 14 , scanner control circuitry 16 and system control circuitry 18 . While the MRI system 10 may include any suitable MRI scanner or detector, in the illustrated embodiment the system includes a full body scanner including a patient bore 20 to which a carriage 22 is positionable. In order to place the patient 12 in the desired position, the scan is performed. Scanner 14 may be of any suitable magnetic field strength, including scanners ranging from 0.5 Tesla to 3 Tesla magnetic field ...

The invention relates to a system and a method for communicating data. A system for communicating data in a magnetic resonance imaging system includes a first array of receiver coils disposed on a first flexible substrate having at least one edge, wherein the flexible substrate is configured to be disposed upon or under a section of a patient under exam, wherein the first array of receiver coils is configured to acquire imaging data from the patient positioned on a patient support in the imaging system. Additionally, the system includes at least one blanket connector disposed along the at least one edge of the first flexible substrate, wherein the at least one blanket connector is electrically coupled to the first array of receiver coils in the first flexible substrate. Moreover, the system includes at least one system connector disposed proximate the patient support and configured to communicate with the imaging system, wherein the at least one blanket connector is configured to be detachably coupled to the at least one system connector, and wherein the first array of receiver coils is configured to communicate the acquired imaging data to the imaging system. The electrical connector is further configured to physically secure the first array of receiver coils in place and prevent the first array of receiver coils from moving.
Description
technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the transmission of signals in signals, and more particularly, to the transmission of signals in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging systems. Background technique [0002] In only a few decades, the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners has grown enormously. MRI scans are increasingly used to aid in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, ruptured ligaments, tendonitis, cancer, stroke and more. As will be appreciated, MRI is a non-invasive medical test that assists physicians in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions. The enhanced contrast between the different soft tissues of the body that MRI scans provide allows physicians to better evaluate parts of the body, as well as identify areas that may not be adequately evaluated with other imaging methods such as x-rays, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT). the presence of certain diseases. [0003] MRI systems typically i...
