RHEOLOGICAL UNIT FOR MRI WITH BUILT-IN OSCILLATION GENERATOR AND RF ANTENNA Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01R33/34 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: rheological module is configured to insert mechanical oscillations into a subject of interest comprising a housing, a unit of mechanical oscillation generator which extends at least partially outside the housing and is movable relative to the housing, and a transducer for moving the oscillation generator unit, wherein the rheological module comprises at least one radio frequency (RF) antenna unit which contains at least one RF coil. With RF antenna device built into the rheological module, it is possible to place the antenna near the range of interest (ROI) to enhance the capabilities of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the MR rheological imaging system.

EFFECT: providing an opportunity for improved magnetic resonance rheological imaging of the range of interest.
