Remote detection by MRI at 3T using a waveguide

چکیده
Introduction. The generation of magnetic resonance images with waveguides has been successfully demonstrated at 7 Tesla for whole-body systems. [1]. It has been previously shown published by our group that the waveguide approach can be used at 3T and whole-body systems using a parallel-plate waveguide [2]. The parallel-plate waveguide is probably the simplest waveguide available and its electromagnetic properties have been widely studied. The aim of this paper is to investigate the variation of the image intensity as a function of the separation between a coil and a phantom using a parallel-plate waveguide. In this work, a waveguide composed of only two parallel plates was used and phantom images were acquired.

Pre-surgical epilepsy evaluation using 3T MRI. Do surface coils provide additional information?
PURPOSE To assess if 3T MRI can be further improved by adding surface coil imaging, in the context of detection and characterization of cerebral lesions in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. METHODS Twenty five patients with drug-resistant epilepsy undergoing evaluation for epilepsy surgery were examined with high resolution 3T MRI. The patients were MRI-negative (n = 15), or had unclear ...
متن کاملMagneto-Inductive Magnetic Resonance Imaging Duodenoscope
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) duodenoscope is demonstrated, by combining nonmagnetic endoscope components with a thin-film receiver based on a magneto-inductive waveguide. The waveguide elements consist of figure-of-eight shaped inductors formed on either side of a flexible substrate and parallel plate capacitors that use the substrate as a dielectric. Operation is simulated using equivale...
متن کاملIncreased cortical grey matter lesion detection in multiple sclerosis with 7 Tesla MRI : a postmortem verification study 2 . 3 7 T postmortem MRI and histopathology study
The relevance of cortical grey matter pathology in multiple sclerosis has become increasingly recognised over the past decade. Unfortunately, a large part of cortical lesions remain undetected on MRI using standard field strength. In vivo studies have shown improved detection by using higher magnetic field strengths up to 7 T. So far, a systematic histopathological verification of ultrahigh-fie...

J. SZKLARUK, P. R. BHOSALE, A. Balachandran, C. S. NG, E. P. TAMM, J. Ma DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY, MD ANDERSON, HOUSTON, TX, United States Introduction MRI of the liver is routinely used in the staging and follow-up of oncologic patients. The current clinical practice is to use a 1.5T magnet. 3.0T MRI scanners offer superior signal to noise ratio (SNR) over the conventional 1.5T. There are limited ...
متن کامل3T MRI vies with arthroscopy for detection of wrist ligament tears
Thirty-five of the 49 patients also underwent fluoroscopy-guided 3T MR arthrography of the wrist joint using a gadolinium/saline contrast mix. Arthroscopy found TFCC tears in 22 patients, scapholunate tears in 18, and lunatotriquetral tears in 11. Nineteen TFCC tears, 16 scapholunate tears, and nine lunatotriquetral tears were seen on 3T MRI. There were no false-positive readings on MRI compare...
