Radiofrequency coils for musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging.
Dedicated and specialized radiofrequency coils are critical for high quality musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Dedicated coils improve the signal to noise ratio, allowing for faster or higher resolution examinations. Transmit-receive coils can reduce heating at high field strength. Finally, novel radiofrequency coils can be used for assessment of tissue biochemistry, as seen wit...
متن کاملMEMS Helmholtz coils for magnetic resonance imaging
Miniature coils for magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy are demonstrated. A rectangular Helmholtz arrangement based on a pair of substrates separated by spherical alignment spacers is investigated. An optimal geometry is developed using simple theory and verified by numerical analysis. Prototypes are fabricated using silicon substrates shaped by anisotropic etching to form a trough to h...
متن کاملMarkerless attenuation correction for carotid MRI surface receiver coils in combined PET/MR imaging.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of attenuation of MR coils on quantitative carotid PET/MR exams. Additionally, an automated attenuation correction method for flexible carotid MR coils was developed and evaluated. The attenuation of the carotid coil was measured by imaging a uniform water phantom injected with 37 MBq of 18F-FDG in a combined PET/MR scanner for 24 min with and...
متن کاملNon-uniformity of Clinical Head, Head and Neck, and Body Coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...
