Human Brain Imaging at 9.4 Tesla Using a Combination of Traveling Wave Excitation with a 15-channel Receive-only Array
Introduction The combination of a circularly polarized (CP) volume coil for spin excitation with a multi-channel receive-only array is a successful setup for routine human brain imaging at 7 Tesla. For reception, the use of multiple surface coils is important for a high SNR and for the utilization of parallel imaging techniques. For transmission, the main strength of the CP coil is the reasonab...
متن کاملA Nested Dual Frequency Birdcage/Stripline Coil for Sodium/Proton Brain Imaging at 7T
Introduction: Dual tuned sodium/proton coils are valuable for multi-nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Due to low sodium content in the body and its low gyromagnetic ratio, the critical design aim for a sodium/proton coil is to maximize sodium sensitivity and homogeneity while maintaining adequate proton sensitivity. This has previously been achieved using a dual-tuned birdcag...

متن کاملComparison of simulated parallel transmit body arrays at 3 T using excitation uniformity, global SAR, local SAR, and power efficiency metrics.
PURPOSE We compare the performance of eight parallel transmit (pTx) body arrays with up to 32 channels and a standard birdcage design. Excitation uniformity, local specific absorption rate (SAR), global SAR, and power metrics are analyzed in the torso at 3 T for radiofrequency (RF)-shimming and 2-spoke excitations. METHODS We used a fast cosimulation strategy for field calculation in the pres...
متن کاملModified Rectangular Patch Antenna Loaded With Multiple C Slots for Multiple Applications
A new multiple C-slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed in the present study. A patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. The patch can be designed in any possible shape and normally made of conducting materials such as copper or gold. This study...
