MR-detectable devices are important for interventional
procedures, and should provide a clear imaging signature
while not degrading diagnostic imaging quality. A new MR-detectable
probe design is presented, based on excitation of MR
signals by high-frequency RF harmonics generated by the
probe with a non-linear element. The implantable probe
was designed to excite MR signals when driven by an
external RF filed at half-resonance frequency. A second
harmonic at the resonance frequency was generated by a
non-linear diode element. MR signals in the subject were
excited only in close proximity to the probe and could
be detected by a standard receiver coil.
