Simultaneous 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...
متن کامل1H and 23Na MRI of Rat Head at 4 Tesla with a Simple Double-Tuned RF Surface Coil
Introduction MRI is proving to be a very useful tool for sodium (23Na) quantification in animal models of stroke, ischemia, and cancer. To obtain co-registered anatomical (1H) and physiological (23Na) information a dual-frequency RF coil is required, and several designs of surface RF coils were previously reported [1-7]. Aims We present the practical design of a dual-frequency RF surface coil t...

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 کاملNovel Orthogonal Double Solenoid (ODS) Volume RF Coil for Small Animal Imaging
Introduction: Solenoids are known to be inherently high SNR coils that also generate highly homogeneous radio frequency magnetic (B1) fields[1]. The traditional solenoidal coil generates B1 field that is parallel to the static magnetic (B0) field. Hence, solenoidal RF coils currently in use for small animal imaging are typically designed for large bore clinical scanners, where the RF coil may b...
متن کاملMuscle group specific quantification of unsaturated fatty acids by localized DEPT-enhanced 13C MRS and ERETIC
Introduction 13C MR spectroscopy in vivo enables to obtain metabolic information of humans not easily obtained by other non-invasive methods. The large chemical shift range of 13C MR spectra allows the resolution of resonances from a large number of substances, and thereby the study of some metabolites which are difficult to resolve in 1H MRS. One of them are unsaturated fatty acids, whose conc...
