Synopsis

Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, New Devices Multinuclear MRI has been demonstrated as a crucial tool for comprehensively characterizing tumor pathology and monitoring tumor treatment response as it can provide biochemical, physical, and functional as well as structural information. The objective of this work is to develop a quadruple-nuclear transceiver coil array for 1H/19F/23Na/31P MRI at 3T to simultaneously detect multinucleal signals. The phantom studies were performed on self-developed 3T MRI system to verify the performance. These results proved that uniform excitation and highly sensitive acquisition in the region of interest were achieved by utilizing the proposed RF coil and indicated the fesibility for multinuclear MRI applications.
