Nmr Imaging of Solids with a Surface Coil Introduction

چکیده
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging [1] usually exploits the dependence of the resonance frequency (generally in the rf band) on the magnetic field strength to map spatial position onto a frequency spectrum. The magnetic field strength is given a known spatial dependence and the spins are uniformly excited with an rf field. The uniform rf field is generally produced inside a cylindrical rf coil.

Assessment of the Characteristics of MRI Coils in Terms of RF Non-Homogeneity Using Routine Spin Echo Sequences
Introduction: One of the major causes of image non-uniformity in MRI is due to the existence of non-homogeneity in RF receive and transmit. This can be the most effective source of error in quantitative studies in MRI imaging. Part of this non-homogeneity demonstrates the characteristics of RF coil and part of it is due to the interaction of RF field with the material being imaged...

Introduction: Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging and spectroscopy of implanted bio-artificial tissue constructs can be improved by placing a NMR receiver coil around the implanted construct and receive the NMR signal response through inductive coupling with the external surface coil [1]. The limitation of this approach is that the implanted coil cannot be di...
متن کاملStatic Coil Design Considerations for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging
One of the main challenges in developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems is to create a static coil that needs to generate magnetic field density along with the characteristics of optimal homogeneity and magnitude size. To do this, two N42 Block PMs are used and the iron core is designed and optimized in accordance with the dimensions of PM pieces using ANSYS Maxwell software. Then, al...
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...
متن کاملSpatially Selective Nmr with Broad-band Radiofrequency Pulses
The problem of non-invasive spatial localization in NMR is approached by constructing a spatially selective composite pulse sequence and incorporating it into a recently developed difference scheme. The composite sequence described, which requires nine phase-shifted n pulses, functions only over a narrow range of radio-frequency (rf) field strengths while remaining effective over a broad range ...
