Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI') system that can be operated while a subject performs, experiences, or otherwise undergoes naturalistic motion. This movable MRI ('mMRI') system includes a magnet whose position and orientation can be changed while the subject is moving, such that the magnet and subject maintain a substantially fixed spatial relationship relative to each other.
