Monitor signals are acquired in an interleaved manner during a scan with an MRI system. Frequency changes caused by variations in the polarizing field B are measured using the monitor signals, and these measured frequency changes are employed to compensate image data acquired during the scan. Electrical currents are produced in a set of shim coils that shim the polarizing field B in the immediate vicinity proximal to the monitor coil.

A predetermined gradation of film transmittance levels, e. g. a gray scale, provided by a film exposure system is calibrated so as to consistently create an image on photographic film in accordance with the predetermined gradation of film transmittance levels. A light source is responsive to a drive signal, for generating light so that the exposure of different portions of the film to the light can be varied as a function of the drive signal so as to vary the resulting transmittance level of the portions of the film after the exposed portions of film are developed in order that the image can be formed on the film, and a sensing device senses the transmittance level of a developed portion of film exposed to at least one preselected value of light exposure and generates a transmittance level signal representative of the sensed transmittance level. The drive signal is adjusted as a function of the sensed transmittance level so that the range of transmittance levels produced by exposing the film to the light in response to the adjusted drive signal approximates the predetermined gradation of film transmittance levels.

Devices and methods comprise or provide an ECG recording device containing a mailable base and electrode assembly and/or other means engageable with the base to receive ECG signals from a subject during a self-administered ECG examination. The devices and methods may also include a single-use or limited-use ECG recording device, in which the base is disposable or reusable or recyclable. In addition, the device may be self-contained, battery-operated, portable, disposable, mailable to a location remote from an ECG examination, provide feedback, indicate its method of use, including graphically depicting same, contain a finger cuff and/or sensor pad for receiving ECG signals, and/or contain a memory. Preferably, the base conforms to various body shapes and/or sizes, is made of flexible and/or semi-flexible material, and/or contains a receptor, such as sealable blood well. The device can also communicate the ECG signals to an ECG processing system, which can be remote from the ECG examinations and comprise wireless communications.

An assembly of RF coils for bilateral imaging of a first and a second breast of the same person is disclosed. The assembly includes a first pair of coils having a first coil juxtaposed and underlapping a second coil, thereby defining juxtaposed edges of the first and second coils, and a second pair of coils having a third coil juxtaposed and underlapping a fourth coil, thereby defining juxtaposed edges of the third and fourth coils. The first coil has a first opening for receiving the first breast, the second coil has a second opening for receiving the second breast, the third coil substantially opposes the first coil, defining therebetween a first region for receiving the first breast, and the fourth coil substantially opposes the second coil, defining therebetween a second region for receiving the second breast.

A patient bed for use in performing procedures on a medical patient, comprising a lower layer with said lower layer permitting attachment to a conventional external base and an upper layer attached in a sliding relationship to said lower layer, said upper layer being angled upwardly relative to said to create a void between said upper layer, or patient support and said lower layer and having a pair of apertures in the patient support, said apertures permitting a patient's breast to fit through the aperture. The invention may also include a breast immobilization device comprising a first sliding compression plate and a second sliding compression plate, said compression plates sliding together to compress the breast of a medical patient by translating toward one another.
