MRI Magnet Frame
Project: Low-Field Breast MRI System (DBM Steel Frame)
Role: Mechanical Designer
Location: Yale School of Medicine, Constable Lab
Overview: I lead the mechanical development for a novel breast MRI device designed to produce diagnostic-quality images using a low-strength electromagnet. The goal of this project is to broaden access to MRI mammography by creating a system that is less expensive and has fewer installation requirements than current market options.
Technical Contributions
- Structural Design: Designed and oversaw the fabrication of the "DBM Steel Frame"—a braced A-frame foundation supporting the core electromagnet, MRI coils, and dynamic patient loads at a precise 45° imaging angle.
-
Systems Integration: Addressed conflicts between mechanical constraints and electrical performance, splitting up the frame design to prevent an electrical loop.
