According to some aspects, a magnetic resonance imaging system capable of imaging a patient is provided. The magnetic resonance imaging system comprising at least one B0 magnet to produce a magnetic field to contribute to a B0 magnetic field for the magnetic resonance imaging system and a member configured to engage with a releasable securing mechanism of a radio frequency coil apparatus, the member attached to the magnetic resonance imaging system at a location so that, when the member is engaged with the releasable securing mechanism of the radio frequency coil apparatus, the radio frequency coil apparatus is secured to the magnetic resonance imaging system substantially within an imaging region of the magnetic resonance imaging system.

A system has a body with a base having a top surface with a receiving region to receive the bottom of a single foot. Among other things, the base may be in the form of an open or closed platform with a plurality of temperature sensors in communication with the top surface of the receiving region. The plurality of temperature sensors is within the receiving region and configured to activate after receipt of a stimulus applied to one or both the platform and the plurality of temperature sensors. A comparator is configured to form a temperature range as a function of the temperature value distribution and compare a percentage of the range size of the temperature distribution to a threshold value. An output produces ulcer information indicating the emergence of an ulcer or pre-ulcer when the percentage of the range size equals or exceeds the threshold value.

The invention provides for a medical instrument (100, 400) comprising a medical imaging system (102, 402) configured for acquiring medical imaging data (432) from a subject (108); a subject support (110) configured for supporting the subject during acquisition of the medical imaging data; and an optical imaging system (114, 114′) configured for acquiring optical imaging data (134) of the subject on the subject support. The execution of the machine executable instructions causes a processor (122) controlling the medical instrument to: control (200) the optical imaging system to acquire the optical imaging data; generate (202) the initial vector (136) using the optical imaging data; generate (204) the synthetic image by inputting the initial vector into a generator neural network; calculate (206) a difference (140) between the synthetic image and the optical imaging data; and provide (208) a warning signal (142) if the difference differs by a predetermined threshold. The generator neural network is trained to generate a synthetic image (138) of the subject on the subject support in response to inputting an initial vector.
