Abstract

Patient comfort is an important factor of a successful magnetic resonance (MR) examination, and improvements in the patient's MR scanning experience can contribute to improved image quality, diagnostic accuracy, and efficiency in the radiology department, and therefore reduced cost. Magnet designs that are more open and accessible, reduced auditory noise of MR examinations, light and flexible radiofrequency (RF) coils, and faster motion-insensitive imaging techniques can all significantly improve the patient experience in MR imaging. In this work, we review the design, development, and implementation of these physics and engineering approaches to improve patient comfort.
