DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is submitted in response to NCUBIP PAR-01-102, "Development of Novel Imaging Technologies for In-Vivo Imaging". A overall goal of this project is to facilitate routine head/neck imaging at 3T, which at present is limited to head MRI. In Phase I, novel RF coil prototypes capable of high-resolution head/neck imaging in a clinical 3T setting will be developed. These prototypes will then be tested with phantoms and volunteers prior to clinical use. Phase II will involve extending the proven Phase I prototypes to include phased array designs and developing new RF coil arrays for high-resolution imaging of the head/neck tumors at 3T. This research is intended to facilitate detection of early changes preceeding the development of a disease, large cancer screening applications, for diagnosis, staging and monitoring the effects of therapy and for the use of image guided interventional procedures in patients with head/neck cancers. This we believe will be a substantial benefit to mankind.

描述(由申请人提供)： 本申请是根据NCUBIP PAR-01-102《开发》提交的 该项目的总体目标是促进常规的3T头部/颈部成像，目前仅限于头部MRI。在第一阶段，将开发能够在临床3T环境中进行高分辨率头部/颈部成像的新型RF线圈原型。在临床使用之前，这些原型将在模体和志愿者中进行测试。 第二阶段将涉及扩展经过验证的第一阶段原型，以包括相控阵设计，并开发新的射频线圈阵列，用于3T高分辨率头/颈部肿瘤成像。 这项研究旨在促进检测疾病发展之前的早期变化，大型癌症筛查应用，用于诊断、分期和监测治疗效果，以及在头颈部癌症患者中使用图像引导的介入程序。我们相信这将给人类带来实质性的好处。
