ABSTRACT:
Special patient handling apparatus and method retains increased accessibility advantages for open C-magnet MRI system architecture. The required volume for an accompanying RF shielded gantry room may also be minimized. The special patient transport mechanism may include a structure which at least partly telescopes around the lower pole face of the C-shaped MRI polarizing magnet as the patient is side-loaded into the image volume between the magnet pole faces. Substantially adjacent open accessibility to the patient is maintained throughout the loading procedure and throughout the subsequent preparatory and imaging procedures associated with the MRI system.
