Radiofrequency coils for musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dedicated and specialized radiofrequency coils are critical for high quality musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Dedicated coils improve the signal to noise ratio, allowing for faster or higher resolution examinations. Transmit-receive coils can reduce heating at high field strength. Finally, novel radiofrequency coils can be used for assessment of tissue biochemistry, as seen with sodium MRI.

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 کاملHigh Temperature Superconducting Radio Frequency Coils for Nmr Spectroscopy and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
High-temperature superconductivity has a significant opportunity to improve the performance of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. The low rf losses and compact size of superconducting coils allow them to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in applications where the system noise dominates that of the sample under study. These improvements tr...
