Synopsis

Keywords: Low-Field MRI, Low-Field MRI

The lightweight frequency selective surface(FSS) using high-pass inductive mesh grids is proposed as shielding of RF solenoids at 2.84MHz for an MRI system using a Halbach array(average B0=67mT). Its effects on the coil B1-sensitivity and the shielding effectiveness are examined. A solenoid(diameter=60mm) was used as an example and the shielding of 5-25mm away was examined. The 5mm-away-FSS-shielded coil has 50.1% (in simulation) and 91.3% (in measurements) higher B1-sensitivity and comparable shielding effectiveness within a defined FoV compared to the copper-shielded coil of the same dimensions. The measured data agree with the simulated ones.
