a (top) and b (bottom) Construction design of the motion device. (a) Detailed overview of the main components of the device: flat upper plate (light blue), which is mobile and moves the volunteer who is placed on it. Lower sub-plate (green), which is stationary fixed on the patient table. Integrated mechanical stops limiting the translational range of motion (1). Headrest to immobilize the neck of the volunteer (2). Elongated handle to perform the motion of the upper plate (3) while a rail is guiding the movement of the upper plate on the lower plate. Central pin connecting the upper and lower plate and representing the centre of rotation. (b) Fitting of the motion device into an Ingenia MRI-scanner. Coil bridges simulating the belly top of a pregnant woman and ensuring that the anterior body coil stays stationary and contact free above the moving volunteer below (4).
