Seat, a chair including a seat, and a method of using a magnetic resonance imaging system including a seat

摘要

A seat (140; 400; 600; 700; 800; 1000; 1200; 1400), a chair (120; 200; 300), or a combination thereof can be part of or used in conjunction with an MRI system (100). The seat can be designed to allow for an MRI analysis without requiring insertion of a probe into a cavity of a patient. In one embodiment, the seat and chair can be adapted for use with a cylindrical-type MRI system. The seat and chair may be used with another type of MRI system, such as an open MRI system. The pelvic region or adjacent portion of a patient can be analyzed without the patient having to lie flat.
