Dr, I don't think it's the open-ness. It seems to me to be the ferromagnetic frame. I see that mentioned in three patents. Also, Malcolm mentioned the iron frame comment from Dr. Damadian at the RSNA show. Example: 5124651 : Nuclear magnetic resonance scanners with composite pole facings This one mentions ferromagnetic frame. Patti

I dont know but other have speculated and Patti brings up the patents. What I dont know is what patents the other companies have that are important and may be needed by Fonar.

Dr. Fleckenstein, it seems to me Toshiba is using a iron frame. Correct me & pardon if I'm wrong but........ "The Opart is also the first commercial MRI system equipped with an iron-core superconducting magnet. All other supercons on the market are based on air-core magnet designs. " I know it doesn't say iron frame like the Fonar patents but it really sounds like iron-core might be the key. ??? If anyone wants to see where I got the quote go to Diagnostic Imaging mag (url is in my profile) do a search of iron and mri Patti
