Detunable transverse electromagnetic (TEM) volume coil for high-field NMR.
Most high-field MRI systems do not have the actively detuned body coils that are integral to clinical systems operating at 1.5T and lower field strengths. Therefore, many clinical applications requiring homogeneous volume excitation in combination with local surface coil reception are not easily implemented at high fields. To solve this problem for neuroimaging applications, actively detunable ...
متن کاملHybrid TEM/Loop Coil Array for Parallel High Field MRI
Introduction As B0 field strengths increase, there is an almost linear increase in SNR. However, new problems arise at higher field strengths, such as a higher SAR and B1-field inhomogeneity. To counteract these problems, multiple transmit channels are necessary to improve the image homogeneity, this can be achieved with static RF-shimming [1]. In this work, a new transceive surface coil array ...
متن کاملDesign and simulation of a RF MEMS shunt capacitive switch with low actuation voltage, low loss and high isolation
According to contact type, RF MEMS switches are generally classified into two categories: Capacitive switches and Metal-to-Metal ones. The capacitive switches are capable to tolerate a higher frequency range and more power than M-to-M switches. This paper presents a cantilever shunt capacitive RF MEMS switch with characteristics such as low trigger voltage, high capacitive ratio, short switchin...
متن کاملRF Field Mapping of a High Field (3T) Birdcage Coil
INTRODUCTION Birdcage coils [l] are widely used for MRI studies of the human brain. Since anatomical constraints require a short birdcage coil (less than 35 cm), the RF field Bi inhomogeneities along the coil axis can be a limiting factor for image quality. Moreover, at high field (23T) numerical MRI results [2-31 show that the Bi is degraded because of strong interactions (inductive sample los...
متن کاملthe effect of high voltage, high frequency pulsed electromagnetic field on slain ovine cortical bone
background: this study is the first research investigating the possible effect of pulsed power signals on the characteristics of cortical bone by comparing the mechanical properties of this type of bone pre and post expose to pulsed power. methods: a positive buck-boost converter was applied to generate adjustable high voltage, high frequency pulses (up to 500 v and 10 khz). the functional beha...
