Synopsis

Keywords: Low-Field MRI, Low-Field MRI

Motivation: We propose a low-field integrated RF/Wireless-Cellular coil designed for use in an emergency vehicle to provide reliable wireless transmission of image data on a cellular network to hospitals.

Goal(s): Provide easy-to-implement wireless connectivity for low-field scanners in emergency vehicles for remote imaging.

Approach: An iRFW-Cellular coil designed for image acquisition and wireless data transmission was used for imaging before modification and wireless data transmission of the images from a moving vehicle or a home to a hospital.

Results: The iRFW-Cellular coil was able to wirelessly transmit its images from a vehicle/home to a hospital with no data loss.

Impact: Our work allows portable low-field scanners to wirelessly transmit image data from an emergency vehicle, or home, at a remote location over cellular/satellite networks to enable radiologists at distant hospitals to triage patients and provide guidance for onsite care.
