We describe a doubly tuned radiofrequency (RF) local coil probe designed specifically for performing in vivo image-localized spectroscopy. The probe was designed using principles developed in connection with the counter-rotating-current (CRC) and planar-pair loop gap resonators for magnetic resonanc

โฆ Synopsis
This paper describes the facilities successfully used to provide patient monitoring and anesthesia support in a 1.5-T imaging installation. The requirements for the MRI site for anesthetic gases, shielded power, and radiofrequency ports are outlined. Specific modifications in anesthesia machines, anesthesia cart, laryngoscope, mercury sphygmomanometer, oximeter, and remote blood pressure devices are described. Additional aspects of patient monitoring and support, e.g., electrocardiogram and pressure infusion, are also discussed.
