Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Coil Design
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Conventional MRI often relies on magnetic field gradients (B(0)) for spatial encoding.
  • Imaging large objects in-plane presents challenges with standard RF coil configurations.
  • Existing methods may require complex hardware or multiple gradient coils.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an in-plane imaging method for large objects.
  • To eliminate the need for B(0) gradients in MRI.
  • To utilize a single, specially designed surface coil for RF-encoding.

Main Methods:

  • A ladder-shaped surface coil was designed to generate a constant B(1) gradient.
  • Radiofrequency (RF) encoding was performed along the direction of the B(1) gradient to obtain spin-density profiles.
