Synopsis

Keywords: Low-Field MRI, Low-Field MRI

Motivation: There are growing interest in low field specialised MRI R&D but they are currently burdened by their low SNR images.

Goal(s): A novel 2-channel orthogonally arranged dual loop solenoid RF coil design has been proposed to improve low field MR image SNR.

Approach: Two transceive 2-Channel RF coil prototypes using the novel design and using conventional design were constructed and tested in a 0.35T MRI system.

Results: In comparing the acquired MR images, it is shown that the proposed novel design can improve low field MR image SNR by ≥20% as compared to the conventional design.

Impact: A novel 2-channel orthogonally arranged dual loop solenoid transceive RF coil has been constructed and tested in a 0.35T MRI system. Using this new RF coil design it is shown that the acquired image SNR can be increased by ≥20%.
