Systems and methods for sensing angular displacement between body segments of users include disposing an electromagnetic transmitting sensor about a first body segment and an electromagnetic receiving sensor about a second body segment. Data related to the magnetic field coupling between the transmitting and receiving sensors can be captured for determining the angular displacement between the first and second body segments.

Bend angle sensing systems and related methods

Example devices and methods of MRI scanning are disclosed herein. In an example, an MRI scanning system may include a structure defining a bore within which a subject is to be positioned for scanning. The system may also include a magnet to generate a primary magnetic field within the bore parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bore, and a helical-antenna radio-frequency (RF) coil oriented along the longitudinal axis to surround the subject. In addition, the system may include an RF signal generator to drive the helical-antenna RF coil to generate a circularly polarized (CP) RF magnetic field perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, as well as an RF detector to detect a response signal generated by tissues of the subject in response to the CP RF magnetic field. Also included may be a computing system to create an image of the tissues of the subject based on the detected response signal.
