Method and Apparatus for Generation of Traveling Waves in High-Field and Ultra-High-Field MRI Systems Using Bore-Extended, Subject-Loaded Helical Antennas
Summary:The main area of engineering research in advancing next-generation MRI scanners at high (B0=3T) and ultra-high (B0 > 3 T) polarizing fields is in improving RF coils and RF magnetic fields (B1) in an MRI bore loaded with a human body or a phantom. This invention features a new RF coil, the subject-loaded multi-channel helical-antenna RF...
