16 channel, Bell Shaped Surface Coil for Knee Imaging
Introduction: Whole-volume surface coils have been demonstrated to deliver a high signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the near-surface region of the sample volume without diminution of the SNR in the center. In recent years, several musculo-skeletal MRI studies have ventured into the development of high channel count coils (> 4 elements) for knee imaging [1]. A 16-channel whole-volume coil array con...
متن کاملA 16-Channel Receive, Forced Current Excitation Dual-Transmit Coil for Breast Imaging at 7T
PURPOSE To enable high spatial and temporal breast imaging resolution via combined use of high field MRI, array coils, and forced current excitation (FCE) multi channel transmit. MATERIALS AND METHODS A unilateral 16-channel receive array insert was designed for use in a transmit volume coil optimized for quadrature operation with dual-transmit RF shimming at 7 T. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ...
متن کاملParallel imaging of the upper airway with a novel 16-channel tongue coil
Introduction: Recently, Hayes et al. proposed novel designs for 12and 16-channel tongue coil arrays and demonstrated their ability to improve tongue SNR [1]. The coil array provides highly localized sensitivity that includes the tongue and upper airway. In this work, we measure and analyze the SNR and g-factor of the 16-channel tongue coil for several tissues of interest, in a mid-sagittal scan...
متن کاملOptimized Coil Design for Parallel Imaging
INTRODUCTION: Parallel MRI utilizes multiple RF receiver coils as encoding engines, whereby the spatial sensitivity profiles of these coils is used in unison with phase encoding to obtain higher accelerations with reduced folding artifacts. The current state-of-the-art in electronics and manufacturing allows construction of coil arrays with a greater and greater number of similarly shaped coil ...
متن کاملA 16 Channel Radio Frequency Anterior Neck Coil for Imaging of the Cervical Carotid Bifurcation
Introduction Disease of the cervical carotid artery occurs primarily in the region of the cervical carotid bifurcation and is a major source of embolic stroke. Although MRI may be the best method for imaging and characterizing the individual risk of the disease, imaging the disease is hampered by the small size of the plaque morphology, the variable position and depth of the artery in many subj...
