Premature neonate life support environmental chamber for use in MRI/NMR devices
First Claim
1. A magnetic resonance system (MRS), the system comprising:
- a. a magnetic resonance device (MRD) for imaging a patient, comprising an open bore, said MRD at least partially contained in an envelope comprising at least one recess below said open bore; and
b. an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-safe cart made of MRI-safe material, comprising a horizontal base and an incubator above said base for accommodating a patient, said base and said incubator are interconnected by at least one pillar and said base comprising at least one two wheels;
wherein said open bore is sized and shaped to accept said incubator and said recess is sized and shaped to accept said base such that when said cart is transported to said MRD for imaging said patient, said incubator is reversibly housed within said open bore and said base is reversibly housed within said at least one recess; and
wherein said incubator comprises a first end and a second end, the second end coupled to an radio frequency (RF) shield, the RF shield configured to close said open bore when said incubator is inserted into said MRD and said incubator is housed within said MRD.

Abstract
A magnetic resonance system, useful for imaging a patient, comprising: (a) a magnetic resonance device (MRD) for imaging a patient, comprising an open bore, the MRD at least partially contained in an envelope comprising in its circumference at least one recess; and, (b) an MRI-safe cart made of MRI-safe material, comprising a substantially horizontal base and at least one substantially horizontal incubator above the base, the base and the incubator are interconnected by at least one pillar. At least a portion of the cart and the MRD are configured to fit together such that at least a portion of the incubator is reversibly housed within the MRD, and further at least a portion of the base is reversibly housed within at least one recess.
