Embodiment Construction

[0028] refer to figure 1 , the pediatric local RF coil assembly is mounted to a patient support table or couch B that translates to move the patient into and out of the imaging region D of a diagnostic scanner, particularly an MRI scanner. Place the pediatric patient in the pediatric patient carrier C along with any monitors and medical devices in preparation for imaging. This preparation can be done outside the MRI shielded room. A carrier C with a pediatric patient is carried into a shielded room, placed onto a patient support table B, and slid longitudinally into engagement with the local RF coil assembly A. After the RF coil assembly A is closed, the patient support table B is transported together with the local RF coil assembly, patient carrier and patient into the imaging region D of the MRI scanner. After imaging, the process is reversed.

[0029] refer to figure 2 , the movable portable pediatric patient carrier A, 100 is configured to accommodate an associated pe...

Abstract

A pediatric patient handling assembly includes a carrier on which a pediatric patient is positioned and prepared for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The carrier carrying the pediatric patient is set on a support table of an MRI scanner. The support table includes a local RF coil assembly mounted on the support table. The carrier is slid along the support table and into engagement with the local RF coil assembly. Interacting guide surfaces on the carrier and the local RF coil assembly align and engage the carrier along a longitudinal axis of the support table. The local RF coil assembly includes a pivotally mounted anterior coil which is lowered towards a base of the support table into an imaging or operating position. The support table, with the engaged local RF coil assembly, carrier and pediatric patient, is translated into a magnetic imaging region of the MRI scanner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to devices and systems for manipulating a patient within a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assembly. It finds particular application in conjunction with devices and systems for manipulating pediatric patients within an MRI system configured for use by adult patients. However, it should be understood that it has application to other diagnostic imaging and patient manipulation protocols as well, and is not necessarily limited to the applications mentioned above. Background technique [0002] An MRI scanner scans a patient to provide detailed images of diseased areas to aid healthcare providers in diagnosing conditions that may be present in the patient. MRI scanners use powerful magnetic fields to align the protons in a patient's body. A radio frequency (RF) field is applied to change this alignment of magnetization, which causes the protons to resonate, producing a weak RF field that is detected, recorded and converted...
