Previous
studies on HTS coils can be put into two categories: tape surface coils and
thin-film surface coils[1-4]. In this study, we built a whole new
Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu2O3 (Bi-2223) superconducting volume coil (length of 8 cm)
designed for magnetic resonance image of the mice whole body at Bruker 3T MRI
system. The HTS volume coil has 2.3 folds higher than of the HTS volume coil
at 300K for a mice body screen.
