FIBEROPTIC DISPLAY FOR A VIDEO IMAGE

A coherent fiberoptic display (9) for a region having strong magnetic field comprises transfer optics (2) which launch the image into one end of a coherent fiberoptic bundle (3) that transfers the image from (1) to a fiberoptic bundle (3) that transfers the image from (1) to a fiberoptic display (9)...

Summary:A coherent fiberoptic display (9) for a region having strong magnetic field comprises transfer optics (2) which launch the image into one end of a coherent fiberoptic bundle (3) that transfers the image from (1) to a fiberoptic bundle (3) that transfers the image from (1) to a fiberoptic display (9). The image from (1) is viewed on the expanded end (9) of a fiberoptic taper (8). The image can comprise a video image formed by a CRT (1) located in a region of low magnetic flux density (5) and the fiberoptic taper (8) can be positioned in the imaging zone of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) apparatus (10). The video image can allow the patient (11) to watch television during magnetic resonance imaging. This distraction will reduce the anxiety experienced during magnetic resonance so that the patient is less apt to move and the magnetic resonance images are less apt to be blurred or destroyed. The efficiency of magnetic resonance imaging is thus improved.
