Development of novel radiofrequency coils for hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the gold-standard diagnostic tool for cardiovascular conditions. However, this imaging technique is currently insensitive with a limited signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), leading to long acquisition times, poor spatial resolution and negatively impacts on the diagnostic quality of scans. These issues can be alleviated through improvements in hardware. The SNR is strongly determined by the performance of Radio-Frequency (RF) coils, devices that transmit and re...
