Abstract

A portable, wireless patient monitor may be placed with the patient in the bore of an MRI machine eliminating the need for separate cabling between the MRI machine and an external monitoring unit. In one embodiment, the patient monitor may be attached to the patient's shoulder by a harness or the like which may also serve to corral leads between the patient monitor and the patient.
