  • High field magnetic resonance
    Patent number: 7800368
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance system is disclosed. The system includes a transceiver having a multichannel receiver and a multichannel transmitter, where each channel of the transmitter is configured for independent selection of frequency, phase, time, space, and magnitude, and each channel of the receiver is configured for independent selection of space, time, frequency, phase and gain. The system also includes a magnetic resonance coil having a plurality of current elements, with each element coupled in one to one relation with a channel of the receiver and a channel of the transmitter. The system further includes a processor coupled to the transceiver, such that the processor is configured to execute instructions to control a current in each element and to perform a non-linear algorithm to shim the coil.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 21, 2010
    Assignee: Regents of the University of Minnesota
    Inventors: J. Thomas Vaughan, Pierre-Francois Van de Moortele, Lance DelaBarre, Christopher C. Olson, Heather Orser, Anand Gopinath, Kamil Ugurbil, Carl Snyder, Gregor Adiany, Can E. Akgun, Jinfeng Tian, John Strupp, Peter M. Andersen, Xiaoping Wu
