Rotating Radiofrequency Phased-array for 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging

该项目旨在开发一种新型的射频线圈阵列，以确保高场磁共振成像(MRI)具有所有优点，可用于更广泛的应用。与低场系统相比，高场MRI提供了更快的扫描速度和更详细的图像。这种增强的敏感性潜在地使较小的结构能够在体内被解析。然而，在高场下，标准射频线圈--磁共振成像系统的重要组成部分--可能会扭曲图像，并引发潜在的有害组织加热。目的是设计和开发一种旋转多通道射频线圈阵列，并配备专用的图像重建软件，以克服这些限制。这将有助于快速、安全地获得详细的图像。

This project aims to develop a new type of radiofrequency coil array to ensure high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with all its benefits, is available for a broader range of applications. High-field MRI offers faster scans with more detailed images than lower field systems. This enhanced sensitivity potentially enables smaller structures to be resolved in the body. At high fields, however, standard radiofrequency coils, an essential component of MRI systems, can distort images and induce potentially harmful tissue heating. The aim is to design and develop a rotating multi-channel radiofrequency coil array, with dedicated image reconstruction software, to overcome these limitations. This would facilitate detailed images that can be obtained quickly and safely.
