Using an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine in an operating room would be ideal for clinical monitoring of minimally invasive procedures (keyhole surgery), during tumor operations on the brain or liver, and procedures involving the heart. However, ferrous metal in traditional motors that drive the MRI’s rotating shield causes interference fields in the operating room. The patient, therefore, has to be moved to an adjacent room accompanied by an anesthetist in the middle of an operation to be examined
In an effort to reduce the need to move patients, research has been conducted to provide an accompanying MRI exam inside operating rooms. Instead of the usual MRI tunnel system, new open MRI exam systems enable doctors to access the target area of the patient during image scanning. The need then, was to develop a rotating MRI-imaging shield driven by a completely metal free-system, including the motor.
