Single-sided magnetic resonance-based sensor for point-of-care evaluation of muscle.

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a powerful clinical tool for the detection of soft tissue morphology and pathology, which often provides actionable diagnostic information to clinicians. Its clinical use is largely limited due to size, cost, time, and space constraints. Here, we discuss the design and performance of a low-field single-sided MR sensor intended for point-of-care (POC) evaluation of skeletal muscle
