Photo of the Month - May 2009

   

During the month of May, the open-access, low-field MRI system built for posture-dependent lung imaging in the Walsworth Group laboratory, will be undergoing some serious changes. The imager, previously seen here, is being dismantled prior to its relocation to the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. During this time, a number of important design upgrades and modifications will also be carried out. Shown above is half of the MRI magnet while still on its frame, after the first coil and support flange had been removed. On the right, the second coil is slowly removed from the support flange. More details on this long-running project can be found here.
