Radiofrequency Knee Coil for MR Application

摘要

The Radio frequency coil is the key component used in the detection of nuclear magnetic resonance signal for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Birdcage volume coils have the capability to produce a homogeneous magnetic field inside the desired Field of View. This paper describes the method of implementing a high pass birdcage coil resonating at 64 MHz for Tesla. This coil can be used as transmit-receive coil for knee imaging. The coil performance has been verified via iterative simulations and practical parameter measurements. The coil was tested for loaded and unloaded conditions using knee phantom.
