TESTING AND INVESTIGATION OF M2M IMAGING COIL

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 目标： --测试和评估双调谐M2M 129 Ω-1H线圈用于小鼠成像的性能。这将包括详细的成像和光谱学的热129体模，并将在体内小鼠成像。 --在小鼠中建立2D和3D 129 mm通气成像的可实现分辨率。 体内显微镜中心为2 T磁体购买了第一个129 Ω-1H双调谐鼠标成像线圈。本项目的目的是测试该线圈的性能，并在小鼠中建立129 mA MRI的基线性能指标。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. AIMS: -- To test and evaluate the performance of the dual-tuned M2M 129Xe-1H coil for mouse imaging. This will include detailed imaging and spectroscopy of a thermal 129Xe phantom and will follow on with in vivo mouse imaging. -- Establish achievable resolution for 2D and 3D 129Xe ventilation imaging in the mouse. The Center of In Vivo Microscopy purchased the first of its kind 129Xe-1H dual-tuned mouse imaging coil for the 2T magnet. The purpose of this project is to put this coil through its paces and establish baseline performance metrics for 129Xe MRI in the mouse.
