Arbitrary placement array coil system

摘要

A multiple RF coil system was developed for use in an arbitrary polarized NMR imaging system to maximize signal to noise ratio over a given field of view. Conceptual coil conductor patterns were formulated, a theoretical analysis of magnetic field patterns was performed, and mutual inductance between coils was calculated and minimized. A prototype based on the theoretical work was constructed. Test results with the prototype were acquired to verify the theoretical work performed.
