Motivation: To achieve high-quality animal imaging, metamaterials can offer an array of electromagnetic properties that can enhance 3T MRI by improving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), image quality, and reducd scan times.
Goal(s): Achieve superior imaging quality in 3T MRI by implementing metamaterial coils, thereby improving animal imaging capabilities.
Approach: Utilized metamaterials on a 3T MRI to scan rats and mice, comparing image resolution, SNR, and CNR against traditional coils. Images were assessed by radiologists for quality.
Results: Metamaterial coils provided markedly better resolution and contrast, with significantly higher SNR and shorter scan times, enabling clearer anatomical detail.
Impact: The study's findings pave the way for enhanced diagnostic precision in veterinary and preclinical studies, raise questions about broader applications in small animal research.
