BirdcageBuilder: Design of Specified-Geometry Birdcage Coils with Desired Current Pattern and Resonant Frequency.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple method for birdcage coil design (high pass, low pass, and band pass) is presented. Rather than iteratively approaching the Larmor resonant frequency with known capacitances and calculated inductances, a more versatile approach to birdcage coil design is developed and validated, in which the necessary capacitances are calculated using a desired current pattern, a calculated inductance, and a predetermined resonant frequency. In order to expedite coil design for experienced and novice coil builders, a computer program (BirdcageBuilder) is also implemented based on this method. Experimental results show that the calculated capacitances and actual capacitances for several existing birdcage coils are in good agreement.

Design and Simulation of a Birdcage Coil using CST Studio Suite for Application at 7T
This work describes the study of coil for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) application. Concretely, the principal objective is the design of a birdcage coil (RF coil) to use in a 7 Tesla scanner. More strength field has a better SNR and increased chemical shift effects, improving spectral fat suppression and spectroscopy. Moreover, a better SNR increases the spatial resolution or reduces the im...
متن کاملRadiative principles for efficient RF transmission at UHF : radiative antennas and travelling waves
RF coils can be classified in RF receive coils and RF transmit coils. RF receive coil are designed to create a maximal sensitivity to the NMR signals emitted by the spins while picking up a minimal amount of thermal noise. The function of RF transmit coils is to generate a homogeneous B1+ field in the imaging region while inducing minimal RF power deposition that results in undesired RF tissue ...

Power supply is a bottle-neck problem of wireless micro-sensors, especially where the replacement of batteries is impossible or inconvenient. Now piezoelectric material is being used to harvest vibration energy for self-powered sensors. However, the geometry of a piezoelectric cantilever beam will greatly affect its vibration energy harvesting ability. This paper deduces a remarkably precise an...
متن کاملResonant frequency of bimorph triangular V-shaped piezoelectric cantilever energy harvester
The concept of “energy harvesting” is to design smart systems to capture the ambient energy and to convert it to usable electrical power for supplying small electronics devices and sensors. The goal is to develop autonomous and self-powered devices that do not need any replacement of traditional electrochemical batteries. Now piezoelectric cantilever structures are being used to harvest vibrati...
متن کاملSAR and B1 Field in a Human Head Model for Birdcage, TEM and Microstrip Coils at 7T
Introduction: The advantage of high field MRI is high SNR which can increase image resolution or decrease acquisition time. However, there are some challenges, such as the RF wavelength effect and the power deposition in tissues. A comparison of three different volume coils loaded with the same spherical homogeneous phantom has been reported [1]. In order to mimic the B1 field distribution and ...
