MAGNETIC RESONANCE AND NON-MAGNETIC RESONANCE ANALYSIS

摘要

In one embodiment, a hypothermic pulsatile perfusion (HPP) apparatus is described. The example HPP includes a chamber configured to house an object (e.g., kidney, liver, heart, skin graft) to be transplanted. The example HPP may include a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) element(s) (e.g., coil) configured to facilitate performing a first (e.g., magnetic resonance (MR) based) analysis of the object using a first set of frequencies. The example HPP may also include a spectrum element (e.g., optical probe) configured to facilitate performing a second (e.g., non-MR based) analysis of the object using a second, different set of frequencies. The HPP apparatus is constructed from MR compatible, non- ferromagnetic materials. In one embodiment, a combination MR/non-MR apparatus may apply MR and non-MR electromagnetic energy to an object housed in the HPP apparatus.
