Abstract

Abstract Since the discovery of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an imaging modality, it has evolved immensely and is still doing so. Most imaging modalities have made bedside or emergency imaging possible due to their portability. This aspect is yet to be fully evaluated and established in the case of MRI as its high-field strength requires specialized infrastructure and its time-consuming nature makes its portability questionable. The goal of this review is to access the efficiency and feasibility of low-field portable MRI (pMRI) systems in a wide array of health care applications. Articles from indexed journals, on PubMed, Springer, Elsevier, etc. databases, relevant to this study were searched and reviewed. This review provides an atypical design that could be used in making a pMRI unit that could find its potential in diagnosing a wide variety of pathologies with an added advantage of imaging critical patients in the intensive care unit or patients in isolation due to its portability, imaging patients with implants or prosthesis effectively due to its low field, pediatric imaging due to its high speed, for guided interventions, imaging obese and claustrophobic patients due to its open nature, in dental imaging, extremity scanning, etc. With its vast spectrum of applications in the health care system, the future of low-field pMRI units seems to be bright.
低场便携式MRI扫描仪的兴起与效率
摘要自从磁共振成像(MRI)作为一种成像方式被发现以来,它已经得到了巨大的发展,并且仍在发展中。大多数成像方式由于其便携性而使床边或急诊成像成为可能。在MRI的情况下,这一方面尚待充分评估和确定,因为其高场强需要专门的基础设施,并且其耗时的性质使其便携性存疑。本综述的目的是了解低场便携式MRI(pMRI)系统在广泛的医疗保健应用中的效率和可行性。检索并回顾了PubMed、Springer、Elsevier等数据库中与本研究相关的索引期刊文章。这篇综述提供了一种非典型设计,可用于制造pMRI单元,该单元可发现其在诊断各种病理方面的潜力,并具有额外的优势,即对重症监护室中的危重患者或因其便携性而隔离的患者进行成像,对因其低场而使用植入物或假体有效成像的患者进行,儿科成像由于其高速性,用于指导干预,肥胖和幽闭恐惧症患者成像由于其开放性,用于牙科成像、四肢扫描等。随着其在医疗保健系统中的广泛应用,低场pMRI设备的未来似乎是光明的。
