Abstract
A magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system () including a housing () having first and second openings (), and first and second solenoid coils (), the first and second solenoid coils () generate a magnetic field suitable for imaging within a region of interest (ROI). The first and second solenoid coils () have a common longitudinal axis (LA). The first and second openings () are situated on opposite sides of the housing () along the longitudinal axis (LA). The first solenoid coil () has a different inside diameter than the second solenoid coil () and is positioned adjacent the first opening (). The second solenoid coil () is positioned adjacent the second opening (). Accordingly, the system provides improved access to the patent during imaging, e.g. for MR guided interventional procedures.
