Optimized radiofrequency coil setup for MR examination of living isolated rat hearts in a horizontal 9.4T magnet

摘要

Purpose(i) To optimize an MR-compatible organ perfusion setup for the nondestructive investigation of isolated rat hearts by placing the radiofrequency (RF) coil inside the perfusion chamber; (ii) to characterize the benefit of this system for diffusion tensor imaging and proton (H-1-) MR spectroscopy.
