Synopsis

Keywords: Novel Contrast Mechanisms, Contrast Mechanisms

Motivation: As gold standard, MRI indeed matters in prostate imaging. The relative low image quality in ultra-low field MRI precludes its application in prostate imaging.

Goal(s): Our goal was to improve prostate image quality in ultra-low field MRI, particularly emphasizing the target prostate region.

Approach: We utilized an additional specially designed passive LC-resonator in imaging process.

Results: By using the LC-resonator, the prostate image quality in ultra-low field MRI was improved, giving a higher image contrast to the prostate region.

Impact: Adopting passive LC-resonator in imaging process is of highly cost effective, not only highlighting the target region, but offering a new imaging idea for other organs when it comes to bad SNR situations.
