Development of Twin Slice TRASE MRI

A new Magnetic Resonance Imager (MRI) design, Twin Slice TRASE MRI, will be verified. The new MRI design is suitable for use in space, on the Moon and in the Canadian north where the operating environments are extremely rugged and demanding. The design will be verified by modifying a basic TRASE MRI ankle-size prototype that has flown in zero-g on an NRC jet. The verification of the MRI design with clear test images, along with the ruggedness already proved by the zero-g flight, will position Pelican MRI. Inc. to develop a head-size version for deployment to northern Canadian health clinics.
