Synopsis

Keywords: New Devices, Brain, wireless coil

Motivation: The bulky cables of the MRI RF coil not only complicate the coil replacement procedure but also lead to a waste of examination time.

Goal(s): In order to achieve a lightweight and user-friendly wireless RF coil with high-resolution imaging capability.

Approach: In this study, we made a wireless coil and compared its SNR and high-resolution imaging performance with the rat coil RAC and the knee coil alone, using the knee coil as the pickup coil.

Results: The wireless coil achieved high-resolution imaging of up to 0.13 mm × 0.13 mm × 1mm on the 3T system.

Impact: The experiment demonstrated the potential of wireless RF coils for high-resolution imaging.
