Construction of a Dual Tuned Coil

چکیده
Outcome. This live show has the ambitious goal of showing to people who are not expert in RF engineering/electronics the fundamental steps to be followed for a coil construction. The steps can be summarized as follows: 1) Choice of the coil design according to the available MR system and the anatomical region 2) Choice of the material 3) Coil construction a. Tuning b. Matching c. Decoupling We chose for this demonstration a coil with a simple design so that everybody, once back home, can promptly reproduce it. The coil we will construct is not only simple, but also usable, which means that it can be promptly plugged into the scanner.

Radio Frequency coil development, one component of a functioning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, has evolved since the beginning of MRI into a very diverse area. Today for example, transmit and receive coils, volume and surface coils, and single channel and multiple channel coils are all included. Coils are created to fit the particular needs of specific research purposes, taking into ...
متن کاملDevelopment of New Dual Tuned Coil and Array for Multi Nuclear Imaging
Introduction: MR imaging of nuclei other than hydrogen has been used to investigate metabolism in humans and animals. However, MRI observable nuclei other than hydrogen are not as abundant and as a result the image SNR is low. Therefore, dual-tuned radio frequency (RF) coils are required for these studies, in which high-resolution structural images are acquired using hydrogen and metabolic info...

PURPOSE To obtain robust estimates of (31) P metabolite content in mouse skeletal muscles using our recently developed MR absolute quantification method and a custom-built (1) H/(31) P dual tuned radiofrequency (RF) coil optimized for mouse leg. MATERIALS AND METHODS We designed and fabricated a probe consisting of two dual tuned (1) H/(31) P solenoid coils: one leg was inserted to each solen...
متن کاملSimultaneous 23Na/1H Imaging with Dual Excitation and Double Tuned Birdcage Coil
Introduction The tissue concentration of sodium is sensitive to disease as an indicator of cellular and metabolic integrity [1]. Due to the low 23Na MR signal level, however, relatively long scan times are required. Furthermore, an additional 1H image in needed for an anatomic co-registration. In this context, a truly simultaneous acquisition of the 23Na and 1H signal would be helpful to reduce...
