CAMERA-BASED PATIENT MONITORING IN MRI - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18574090 titled 'CAMERA-BASED PATIENT MONITORING IN MRI
The present invention is a magnetic resonance imaging system with an infrared camera system for monitoring subjects during examinations in the system's examination zone. The system includes a coating on walls of the room housing the system, the interior walls of the magnet assembly, and auxiliary equipment inside the examination zone to absorb and/or diffuse infrared light, preventing spurious reflections and providing diffuse auxiliary lighting.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging system () comprising an infrared camera system for monitoring a subject when undergoing an examination while positioned in an examination zone () of the magnetic resonance imaging system. The infrared camera system comprises an infrared camera (). The magnetic resonance imaging system further comprises a coating () on at least one wall of a room housing the magnetic resonance imaging system, and/or on an interior wall of a magnet assembly () around the examination zone and/or on auxiliary equipment of the magnetic resonance system for use inside the examination zone, in which the is adapted to absorb and/or diffusely reflect infrared light, so as to avoid spurious reflections and/or to provide diffuse auxiliary lighting.
