Ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging with an array of localised magnetic field sensor

本课题旨在设计和构建一种配备新型磁场传感器的多功能超低磁场（ULF）磁共振成像（MRI）和核磁共振（NMR）仪器。该项目意义重大，因为它将提供一种灵敏度更高的仪器，能够获得样品的非侵入性三维结构成像。该仪器将使使用可再生能源的高灵敏度ULF-MRI或ULF-NMR操作成为一种低成本的解决方案；降低运维成本，降低能耗。

The aim of this project is to design and construct a multifunctional ultra-low magnetic field (ULF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instrument equipped with novel magnetic field sensors. This project is significant because it will deliver an instrument with enhanced sensitivity which is capable of obtaining non-invasive three-dimensional structural imaging of samples. This instrument will enable operation of highly sensitive ULF-MRI or ULF-NMR with regenerative energy sources and be a low-cost solution; reducing operation and maintenance costs as well as power consumption.
