Abstract

Systems and methods for manufacturing and using magnetic resonance ('MR') visible labels, markers, or assemblies to encode information unique to the subject or object being imaged by a magnetic resonance imaging ('MRI') system are provided. The use of such MR-visible labels, markers, or assemblies enables unique information associated with the subject or object being imaged to be encoded into the images of the subject or object. This information can be used to anonymize protected health information (“PHI”); to provide detailed information about a surgical simulation device, quality assurance phantom, or the like; to provide spatial orientation and registration information; or so on.
