Low-field magnetic resonance imaging of beagle brain with a dedicated receiver coil

A specially designed radio frequency receiver coil was used in a low‐field‐strength (0.1 T) magnetic resonance imager to improve the image quality of the Beagle brain. The aim was to obtain better distinction of anatomic details with a better signal‐to‐noise ratio in shorter imaging time. The spin‐e...

Description
Summary:A specially designed radio frequency receiver coil was used in a low‐field‐strength (0.1 T) magnetic resonance imager to improve the image quality of the Beagle brain. The aim was to obtain better distinction of anatomic details with a better signal‐to‐noise ratio in shorter imaging time. The spin‐echo (TR/TE = 1200/100; TR is the repetition time and TE is the echo time in ms) brain images of three Beagles indicate that the new receiver coil can fulfill these goals.
