Double Tuned 31P/1H Elliptical Transceiver Phased Array for the Human Brain Studies at 7 T
Introduction: The improved SNR at 7T provides significant advantages for both H and lower gyromagnetic nuclei such as P, Na and C (X nuclei). Double resonant volume head coils, based on both birdcage (1-3) and TEM (4) designs have been previously used at lower magnetic fields. However at 7T, transceiver phased arrays provide significant advantages for both B1 homogeneity and transmit efficiency...
متن کاملQuantitative magnetization transfer imaging of human brain at 7 T
Quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) imaging yields indices describing the interactions between free water protons and immobile macromolecular protons. These indices include the macromolecular to free pool size ratio (PSR), which has been shown to be correlated with myelin content in white matter. Because of the long scan times required for whole-brain imaging (≈20-30 min), qMT studies of ...
متن کاملAn eight-channel phased array RF coil for spine MR imaging at 7 T.
OBJECTIVE To develop a transmit/receive radiofrequency (RF) array for MR imaging of the human spine at 7 T. The prototype is characterized in simulations and bench measurements, and the feasibility of high-resolution spinal cord imaging at 7 T is demonstrated in in vivo images of volunteers. MATERIALS AND METHODS The RF phased array consists of 8 overlapping surface loop coils with a dimensio...
متن کاملB(1) destructive interferences and spatial phase patterns at 7 T with a head transceiver array coil.
RF behavior in the human head becomes complex at ultrahigh magnetic fields. A bright center and a weak periphery are observed in images obtained with volume coils, while surface coils provide strong signal in the periphery. Intensity patterns reported with volume coils are often loosely referred to as "dielectric resonances," while modeling studies ascribe them to superposition of traveling wav...
متن کاملFour Channel Transceiver Array for Functional Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in the Human Visual Cortex at 9.4 T
Introduction: Functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) at ultra-high field (UHF) strength (≥7T) is a method to investigate the metabolism of the human brain during task induced stimulation [1] or pharmalogical challenge [2]. A region of special interest is the visual cortex which undergoes metabolic changes during visual stimulation [1]. The UHF thereby allows for increased spectral an...
