Limitations of conventional MRI include its lack of ability to observe controlled joint motion and biomechanics in real-time. Although clinically evident, many injuries, instabilities, and dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system are frequently not depicted on conventional static MRI. To enable dynamic MRI for joints, an in-bore motion-assisted device and a wearable coil array was designed, constructed, and validated. The combination of robotic assisted joint motion, a tight-fitting coil array that does not restrict the joint's range of motion, and accelerated imaging enabled dynamic MRI of the ankle.
