Synopsis

Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, RF Arrays & Systems

Motivation: This study is to design and implement a dense inductively coupled wireless resonator array to enhance functional MRI signal sensitivity in the human somatosensory and motor cortex.

Goal(s): This study is to design and evaluate a dense inductively coupled wireless resonator array (ICWRA) specifically for the human somatosensory and motor cortex.

Approach: The methodology integrates this proposed coil with a secondary 48-channel receive head array to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and functional sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging.

Results: The study demonstrates the feasibility and advantages of this ICWRA designed in improving functional sensitivity and SNR in ultra-high field fMRI applications.

Impact: This study is to design and implement a dense inductively coupled wireless resonator array (ICWRA) to enhance functional MRI signal sensitivity in the human somatosensory and motor cortex.
