MRI plays an important role in diagnosing the diseases
of musculoskeletal tissues at different body parts. In
this study, based on the target-field method, we
proposed a kind of open multi-purpose RF coil with
three-plane structure for musculoskeletal MR imaging
with satisfied homogeneity and high SNR. The design can
meet the need of various body parts and provide large
joint movement region for dynamic evaluation. The
imaging results have demonstrated the effectiveness and
advantage of this proposed design. In the near future,
it is believed that the coil can be applied for
real-time imaging of joint movement under dynamic
situations.
