SENSE optimization of a transceive surface coil array for MRI at 4 T.
Parallel imaging (PI) techniques employ the use of multiple radiofrequency (RF) channels to transmit and/or receive the NMR signal. In the current study we use a finite difference time domain (FDTD) method to simulate the electromagnetic fields of a RF coil array operating in transmit-receive (transceive) mode and receive-only mode. Optimization of these configurations for PI is studied as well...
متن کاملSlotted surface coil for magnetic resonance imaging at 4T
Synopsis. A slotted surface coil, inspired on the cavity magnetron was developed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 4T. Imaging tests using a saline phantom demonstrated that the slotted surface coil has deeper RF-sensitivity than the single-loop RF-coil. High quality images of two rats were acquired simultaneously using standard spin-echo pulse sequences, demonstrating that the slotted su...

متن کامل4-channel transceive surface coil array for reduction of EPI-induced artifacts using SENSE and GRAPPA
Introduction In single-shot echo planar imaging (sshEPI) all of the data is acquired following a single RF excitation. Unfortunately, in sshEPI image blurring may occur, due to reduced signal at the edges of k-space; significant geometric distortions can also appear in the final image, because of tissue susceptibility mismatch and off-resonance effects. In functional MRI (fMRI), sshEPI is the p...
متن کاملA Concentrically Shielded Transceive Array Coil Optimized for B1+ Inhomogeneity Correction at 7T
Introduction: A multiple channel transceive array offers the possibility for flexible mitigation of the transmit inhomogeneity at high fields through either B1 + shimming or by the use of spatially tailored RF excitation pulses accelerated to useful durations using parallel transmit (pTx). Accelerating the transmit RF pulses requires a distinct spatial sensitivity profile. One of the major prob...
