Innovation in Biomedical Data Transmission Using Acoustic Methods in MRI Systems

Abstract

The focal objective of this research endeavor is to augment the level of safety that patients receive during MRI scans. To achieve this, the study proposes the acoustic transmission of physiological parameters, collected by a set of sensors, through an ultrasound transmitter that is fixed onto the MRI bore. Once transmitted, the data is picked up by an ultrasound receiver stationed in the control room, which can be accessed by the operator through a desktop computer, thereby ensuring optimal patient safety.
