  • Transceive surface coil array for magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy
    Patent number: 8193812
    Abstract: A surface coil array comprises a surface coil support and an arrangement of non-overlapping magnetically decoupled surface coils mounted on the support. The surface coils encompass a volume into which a target to be imaged is placed. Magnetic decoupling circuits act between adjacent surface coils. Impedance matching circuitry couples the surface coils to conventional transmit and receive components.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 5, 2012
    Assignee: Robarts Research Institute
    Inventors: Robert G. Pinkerton, Ravi S. Menon
