  • Publication number: 20240053424
    Abstract: A correction device for correcting a radio frequency magnetic field in magnetic resonance imaging, the device intended to be positioned on an area of a patient's body during a magnetic resonance imaging examination and including a substrate and at least one conductor track on the substrate, the at least one conductor track having at least two segments that are connected to each other by at least one reactive electrical component.

  • Publication number: 20230324485
    Abstract: A system is described for emitting a radiofrequency field for a magnetic resonance imaging device, including a volumetric antenna that emits a radiofrequency field, a device for homogenizing the radiofrequency field arranged between said volume antenna and a part of the body to be imaged. The device may include a first continuous metal track with an overall length of approximately 0.5 to approximately 1.5 times said wavelength of the radio frequency field. The first metallic track may occupy a surface with a largest dimension ranging between approximately 5% and approximately 15% of said wavelength of the radio frequency field. The first metal track is arranged in a pattern including a plane of symmetry that is normal to the electrical component of the radio frequency field, so as to give the device an electric dipole property including a natural frequency strictly greater than the frequency of the radio frequency field.
