Size-optimized 32-channel brain arrays for 3 T pediatric imaging.
Size-optimized 32-channel receive array coils were developed for five age groups, neonates, 6 months old, 1 year old, 4 years old, and 7 years old, and evaluated for pediatric brain imaging. The array consisted of overlapping circular surface coils laid out on a close-fitting coil-former. The two-section coil former design was obtained from surface contours of aligned three-dimensional MRI scan...
متن کاملA 32-channel Receive Array Coil for Pediatric Brain Imaging at 3T
Introduction: Pediatric MRI currently requires general anesthesia to preclude motion artifacts. With highly accelerated image encoding in conjunction motion navigators it may be possible to significantly reduce or even eliminate anesthesia. For research studies of brain development where anesthesia is not possible, improved motion robustness can significantly improve the success rate. Highly pa...
متن کاملDense, shape‐optimized posterior 32‐channel coil for submillimeter functional imaging of visual cortex at 3T
PURPOSE Functional neuroimaging of small cortical patches such as columns is essential for testing computational models of vision, but imaging from cortical columns at conventional 3T fields is exceedingly difficult. By targeting the visual cortex exclusively, we tested whether combined optimization of shape, coil placement, and electronics would yield the necessary gains in signal-to-noise rat...
متن کاملWhole-body MRI: comprehensive evaluation on a 48-channel
Objective: To evaluate a comprehensive MRI protocol that investigates for cancer, vascular disease, and degenerative/ inflammatory disease from the head to the pelvis in less than 40 minutes on a new generation 48-channel 3T system. Materials and Methods: All MR studies were performed on a 48-channel 3T MR scanner. A 20-channel head/neck coil, two 18-channel body arrays, and a 32-channel spine ...
متن کاملMyocardial diffusion tensor imaging using diffusion-prepared SSFP
Background Diffusion tensor imaging of the myocardium is challenging due to the large bulk motion of the heart relative to the distance water diffuses. One solution is to use diffusion gradients on two consecutive heartbeats, with EPI to readout the stimulated echo [1]. The technique has not been widely adopted, primarily due to the long imaging times required to overcome the low SNR of the tec...
