Novel optically tunable capacitor for RF safe tuning and decoupling of intravascular MR coils
S. Weiss, T. Uelzen, G. Pantel, J. Mueller Philips Research Laboratories, Hamburg, Germany, Department of Micro Systems Technology, Hamburg University of Technology, Hamburg, Germany, MRI Devices Daum GmbH, Schwerin, Germany Objective: The motivation for the application of intravascular imaging coils is to gain high SNR images from a local area. To maximize SNR, proper tuning and matching of su...
متن کاملComprehensive numerical study of 7T transmit-only, receive-only array coils
Purpose: The Nova 7 T RF coil, which has single-channel transmission (TX) [1] and 24 or 32 channel reception (RX) [2,3] (Nova Medical, Wilmington, MA) is notable for its excellent signal to noise (SNR) performance. The coil designers have demonstrated that separate dedicated coils for transmission and reception (TX-only, RX-only) perform better than a combined-element transceiver coil. One disa...
متن کاملApplication of an End-user Friendly Cryogenic Coil for in Vivo High Resolution Medical Image on 3t Whole Body Scanner a Novel Liquid Nitrogen Cryostat and Coil for High-resolution In-vivo Imaging on a 3 Tesla Whole Body Scanner
The design and operation of a receive-only liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooled coil and cryostat suitable for medical image on 3T whole body MR scanner is presented. The coil size, optimised for murine imaging, was determined by using electromagnetic (EM) simulations. This process is therefore easier and more cost-effective than building a range of coils. A non-magnetic cryostat suitable for small ani...
متن کاملArray Coil Types and Design Principles
Introduction Before we embark on the topic of array coils designs, the reader is referred to a historic paper by Hoult [1] that provides a detailed overview and discussion on the NMR receiver. Most of today’s RF receive coil designs are based upon the phased array coil technology proposed by Roemer et al. in 1990 [2], and its application to volume imaging was discussed by Hayes et al. in 1991 [...
متن کاملHigh Field In vivo 13C Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Brain by Random Radiofrequency Heteronuclear Decoupling and Data Undersampling
In vivo13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a unique and effective tool for studying dynamic human brain metabolism and the cycling of neurotransmitters. One of the major technical challenges for in vivo13C-MRS is the high radio frequency (RF) power necessary for heteronuclear decoupling. In the common practice of in vivo13C-MRS, alkanyl carbons are detected in the spectra range of 10-6...
