Multi-channel transceive coil for improved knee imaging at 7T
An important application that can benefit from high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of high fields (7T and above) is musculoskeletal imaging (MSK) [1, 2]. The ability to see structures as fine as cartilage can prove to be valuable when evaluating the knee for morphology [3] and degradation with age, as well as, evaluation of the knee post surgery. High resolution images, as well as, T2and T1rhomaps...
متن کاملSodium imaging of the heart at 7T: design, evaluation and application of a four-channel transmit/receive surface coil array
Background Insight of physiological processes and cellular metabolism makes 23Na-MRI conceptually appealing as non-invasive imaging discipline. Several studies report the applicability of 23Na-MRI for the detection and assessment of acute and chronic heart disease due to increased sodium concentration after myocardial infarctions. Bi-exponential decay of the signal and a low SNR compared to 1H-...
متن کاملA Nested Dual Frequency Birdcage/Stripline Coil for Sodium/Proton Brain Imaging at 7T
Introduction: Dual tuned sodium/proton coils are valuable for multi-nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Due to low sodium content in the body and its low gyromagnetic ratio, the critical design aim for a sodium/proton coil is to maximize sodium sensitivity and homogeneity while maintaining adequate proton sensitivity. This has previously been achieved using a dual-tuned birdcag...

متن کاملA Novel Figure-Eight Coil for Skin Imaging at 7T
Introduction: Noninvasive skin imaging requires very high spatial resolution and high SNR in a FOV on the order of 10 x 10 cm coupled with an acceptable scan time. These requirements are mandatory for characterization of healthy skin, inflammatory skin diseases, and differentiation of skin tumors. To image such microscopic structures within the human skin in vivo, special coil setups are used a...
