Patent ID: 10585153

Abstract:
According to some aspects, a magnetic resonance imaging system comprising a B0 magnet configured to produce a B0 magnetic field for the magnetic resonance imaging system, the B0 magnet comprising at least one first B0 magnet to produce a magnetic field to contribute to the B0 magnetic field for the magnetic resonance imaging system, at least one second B0 magnet to produce a magnetic field to contribute to the B0 magnetic field for the magnetic resonance imaging system, wherein the at least one first B0 magnet and the at least one second B0 magnet are arranged relative to one another so that an imaging region is provided there between, a surface configured to support a patient anatomy within the imaging region, and a positioning member coupled to the B0 magnet and configured to allow the B0 magnet to be tilted to position the planar surface at a corresponding incline.
