Synopsis

Keywords: Whole Body, New Devices

A platform was developed for ¹²⁹Xe applications allowing the use of an insertable whole-body transmit/receive coil by itself or in combination with a ¹²⁹Xe phased array coil. Experiments were performed in a 3T MRI scanner without modification of the scanner’s ¹H body coil. ¹²⁹Xe imaging was performed with a loader phantom and a xenon Boltzmann phantom in both configurations.
