Synopsis

Keywords: Physics & Engineering: Hardware, Physics & Engineering: Preclinical MRI

The objective of this course is to give the audience a basic understanding of vary technologies used in preclinical MR RF coil design so that they are able to pick the right tools for their researches.
In this course, four common sensitivity enhancement approaches in coil design will be mentioned. The basic principle, the advantages and the limitations within the preclinical MR domain will be discussed. Typical coil types using these approaches will be listed. Also two measurement-speed enhancement approaches and multiple-nuclei RF coil design will be discussed.
