PATIENT BED WITH MAGNETIC RESONANCE RADIO FREQUENCY ANTENNA PARTICULARLY FOR USE IN A MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING GUIDED THERAPY SYSTEM

摘要

A patient bed particularly for use in a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging guided therapy system employing at least one out of ionizing radiation and ultrasound energy for therapy purposes having an abdominal support portion (14) for supporting an abdominal region (18) of a subject (12) during magnetic resonance guided therapy comprising at least one magnetic resonance (MR) radio frequency (RF) antenna device (48) arranged at a top side (26) of the patient bed in a patient bed center region (30) with at least one MR RF antenna (50) that is enclosed in a housing (52) having two side surfaces (54) opposing each other wherein in at least one state of operation each side surface (54) of the MR RF antenna device (48) is provided to be proximal to an inner side of each of the subject s legs (22) and wherein in the at least one state of operation the MR RF antenna device (48) is provided to be proximal to a subject s perineum (20); an MR radio frequency (RF) antenna device (48) therefor; and a therapy system employing at least one out of io nizing radiation and ultrasound energy for therapy purposes that is guided by an MR imaging device with a patient bed having at least one MR radio frequency (RF) antenna device (48).
