摘要: A focal magnetic resonance imaging system (20) for generating images of neural structures such as nerves. The includes a control and analysis (22), polarizing (24), splint-coil assembly (26). (26) splint (28) various electromagnetic coils (32,40,42) incorporated within the (28). conforms snugly to patient's body part, e.g., limb, so that are fixed with respect part. can be positioned independently main field generated by stabilization apparatus (156) is included adjustably securing position during imaging. magnet (60) serve (24) also provided. Further provided method operating (22) consistently generate depicting fascicular structure nerves (100) ensuring image gradients (108) oriented orthogonal (100).
