USE OF AVS IN A PROTOTYPE ULTRA-FAST MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEM USERS EXAMPLES AND CASE STUDIES - Medical Track

We are now clinically testing an ultra-fast magnetic resonance imaging system which incorporates the use of AVS for data acquisition, preand post-processing and image generation and display. The complete system includes a commercial MRI scanner, a PC equipped with signal acquisition hardware developed in-house, and a Kubota Titan workstation running AVS software. Communications between PC and Titan are via NFS file transfer, both data and sentinels. The AVS sub-system can be used for data acquisition and image reconstruction, and subsequent review and editing of the MR data. Applications include functional MRI measurements and multislice snapshot cardiac imaging.
