MRD assembly of scanner and cart
First Claim
1. A magnetic resonance system for imaging a neonate, the magnetic resonance system comprising:
- a cart for transporting a non-magnetic neonate incubator capsule, the cart comprising;
a base; and
a pillar coupled to the base and extending from the base;
an incubator having an end, the incubator capable of being coupled to the pillar at the end of the incubator and extending from the pillar when coupled to the pillar;
a magnetic resonance device disposed within a housing, the magnetic resonance device comprising;
a bore sized to receive the incubator and to mate with the end of the incubator such that the bore is closed when the incubator is inserted into the bore, anda recess sized to receive the base of the cart when the incubator is coupled to the pillar and positioned within the magnetic resonance device.

Abstract
A magnetic resonance system (MRS), 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.
