Publication number: 20110056228Abstract: The present invention discloses a cooling apparatus for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI) RF coils comprising a base, a cup, an input tube and an output tube. The input tube and the output tube are connected to the cup, in which the base and the cup are tightly sucked together to form a vacuum space by the vacuum caused by the negative pressure when the air is drawn out. The vacuum is able to block the conduction of low temperature. The base, the cup, the input tube and the output tube may be made of heat-isolation materials with high strength of hardness. The main objective of the present invention is to provide a low temperature system for long time use by the protection of a vacuum space; therefore the particular RF coil is used to retrieve NMRI signals. By reducing the resistance, the noise is therefore restrained, and the signal-to-noise ratio is enhanced to achieve high resolution and the scanning time is significantly reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Inventors: Jyh-Horng CHEN, In-Tsang Lin
