MRI machines

There has been a push for direct data collection (DDC) as an alternative to remote data capture (RDC). In this approach most of the required clinical data are acquired directly from existing patient record systems such as MRI machines, ECG, EEG, TTM, laboratories, and other measurement equipment. This approach eliminates the need for paper transcription and reentry to another system. It promises error-free and resource-efficient data capture, which allows early locking of the database and therefore potentially earlier product launch [30]. 

Stephen S. Hall imagines a day when the MRI machine replaces the couch, when the therapist uses words or odors or pictures to excite and pinpoint circuitry and then the neuroanatomist translates the images into explanations of behavior (Hall, 1997). 

Place each mouse into an appropriate size tube and place into the MRI machine. 

A technician speaks to a patient before he is moved into the cavity of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine,... 

MRI machines work by using powerful magnets to measure small structural changes in the brain. By the time an MRI detects a change. 

So companies must remember to keep the customer at the focus of the decisions and solutions. Systems must be based on processes and technology that allow for simplified customer relationship management. General Electric has over 200,000 products across 80-H industries but only one number to call with a question, problem, concern whether it is about a jet engine, MRI machine, or a lightbulb. . . and they do this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The systems must be open and easily integrated. The news is that this version of the future is available with technology today (and it will only get better and cheaper and easier).

The device must be MRI compatible and able to fit between the patient s legs while inside the bore of the MRI machine (Figure 22.5).The bore of a typical MRI machine is 550 mm in diameter. The patient s legs are propped up to provide access to the perineum. This leaves a small space for the device, requiring that the device be no larger than a 200 mm diameter cylinder, 500 mm deep. 

In these years, much higher magnetic field and magnetic field gradients have been employed not only in the high-resolution NMR machine, but also in the MRI machine for animal use, and even in the machine for non-clinical human use. Such development of MRI machines comes with higher sensitivity and higher resolution. 

Ceramic electromagnets are used in medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines and in high-efficiency electric motors and generators.
