Abstract

An MRI device for providing high-contrast, high-resolution images of a fluid. The device includes: an envelope for at least partially confining the fluid; a plurality of magnets located at least partially around the envelope; and a CPU to process the images, including a computer readable medium containing instructions for generating at least one third image superimposing at least one image of the first images with at least one image of the second images, whereby a high-contrast, high-resolution real-time continuous images of the fluid is obtained.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An MRI device for providing high contrast high resolution images of a fluid, comprising:
a. an envelope for least partially confining said fluid;
b. a plurality of magnets located at least partially around said envelope, said assembly comprising:
i. a least one first magnet configured to provide a high magnetic field for generating multiple time-resolved one or more first images at high resolution of at least a portion of said fluid; and
ii. a le…
