MICRO MRI UNIT
First Claim
1. A micro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit comprises:
- a gradient magnetic field bio-medical unit operable to generate a gradient magnetic field in a proximal area of a body object within a host body, wherein a constant magnetic field is present in the proximal area of the body object;
a transmitting bio-medical unit operable to transmit a varying radio frequency (RF) signal in a direction of the body object; and
a receiving bio-medical unit operable to;
receive a representation of the varying RF signal;
process the representation of the varying RF signal to produce a processed signal; and
output the processed signal, wherein at least one of the gradient magnetic field bio-medical unit, the transmitting bio-medical unit, and the receiving bio-medical unit is implanted in a host body.

Abstract
A micro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit includes a gradient magnetic field bio-medical unit, a transmitting bio-medical unit, and a receiving bio-medical unit. The gradient magnetic field bio-medical unit is operable to generate a gradient magnetic field in a proximal area of a body object within a host body, wherein a constant magnetic field is present in the proximal area of the body object. The transmitting bio-medical unit is operable to transmit a varying radio frequency (RF) signal in a direction of the body object. The receiving bio-medical unit is operable to: receive a representation of the varying RF signal; process the representation of the varying RF signal to produce a processed signal; and output the processed signal, wherein at least one of the gradient magnetic field bio-medical unit, the transmitting bio-medical unit, and the receiving bio-medical unit is implanted in a host body.
