A 32 Channel receive-only 3T array optimized for brain and cervical spine imaging
Introduction: Simultaneous imaging of the brain and cervical spinal cord is integral to the study of pathologies involving both structures such as multiple sclerosis. Imaging the spinal cord is challenging due to its small size (~1cm diameter) and the presence of large B0 inhomogeneities that result in severe image distortions in diffusion-weighted and functional MRI acquisitions. These issues ...
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 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 کاملPrediction of nodal metastasis in head and neck cancer using a 3T MRI ADC map.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The detection of cervical nodal metastases is important for the prognosis and treatment of head and neck tumors. The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of ADC values at 3T to distinguish malignant from benign lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 2009 to June 2010, twenty-two patients (21 men and 1 woman; mean age, 49.8±9.5 years; age range, 28-66 ye...
متن کامل32-channel RF coil optimized for brain and cervical spinal cord at 3 T.
Diffusion and functional magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord remain challenging due to the small cross-sectional size of the cord and susceptibility-related distortions. Although partially addressable through parallel imaging, few highly parallel array coils have been implemented for the cervical cord. Here, we developed a 32-channel coil that fully covers the brain and c-spine and ch...
