HIGH RESOLUTION HIGH CONTRAST MRI FOR FLOWING MEDIA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An MRI device for providing high contrast high resolution images of a fluid, comprising:
- a. an envelope for least partially confining said fluid;
b. a plurality of magnets located at least partially around said envelope, said assembly comprising;
i. a least one first magnet configured to provide a high magnetic field for generating multiple time-resolved one or more first images at high resolution of at least a portion of said fluid; and
ii. a least one second magnet configured to provide a low magnetic field for generating multiple time-resolved one or more second images at high contrast of at least portion of same said fluid;
wherein at least one image of said first images and at least one image of said second images being generated in a time no greater than approximately the time between two first images; and
c. a CPU to process said images comprising a computer readable medium containing instructions for generating at least one third image superimposing at least one image of said first images with at least one image of said second images, whereby a high-contrast, high-resolution real-time continuous image of said fluid is obtained.

Abstract
An MRI device for providing high-contrast, high-resolution images of a fluid. The device includes: an envelope for at least partially confining the fluid; a plurality of magnets located at least partially around the envelope; and a CPU to process the images, including a computer readable medium containing instructions for generating at least one third image superimposing at least one image of the first images with at least one image of the second images, whereby a high-contrast, high-resolution real-time continuous images of the fluid is obtained.
