Patent ReferencesNMR imaging system using field compensation Apparatus and method for decoupling MRI RF coil from selected body portions using passive components Patent #: 4703272 InventorAssigneeApplicationNo. 07/180180 filed on 04/11/1988US Classes:324/309, To obtain localized resonance within a sample324/307Using a nuclear resonance spectrometer systemExaminersPrimary: Levy, Stuart S.Assistant: Arana, Louis Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesG01R 33/54 (20060101)G01R 33/56 (20060101) G01R 33/34 (20060101) G01R 33/3415 (20060101) AbstractMagnetic resonance signals are received using a plurality of coils, each sensitive to different but overlapping regions of the volume being studied. The signals are combined so as to cancel in undesired regions of the body and receive net signals from only desired parts of the volume to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio for imaging and spectroscopy. | |
