## Abstract To improve image quality in the upper thoracic spine, an anatomically shaped copper wire loop coil, made to fit over the patient's shoulders, was constructed. The coil was permanently mounted on a foamβrubber vest to facilitate attachment to the patient. Phantom and in vivo studies of t

β¦ Synopsis
The design of a two-turn radiofrequency coil for MR imaging at 0. I5 T is presented. The use of well-isolated copper tube (instead of the usual wire) as conductor material resulted in an open, patient friendly construction. Furthermore, the Q value and signalto-noise ratio of the tube-type coil were increased as compared to the corresponding values in the case of a geometrically similar wire-type coil.

## Abstract This study examined the effects of a recently developed automated intensity nonβuniformity correction on surface coil images using the orbit as an exemplar. Images were obtained using a standard head coil and a range of surface coils. Slices through the optic nerve head and cavernous si
Developing a method to noninvasively monitor tissue-engineered constructs is critical for the optimization of construct design and for assessing therapeutic efficacy. For this purpose, NMR is a powerful technique that can be used to obtain both images and spectroscopic data. But the inherent sensiti

Multiecho sequences are widely used in MRI because they are an efficient means of acquiring data and they can be used to quantitatively estimate Tz. However, the uniformity of each image and the accuracy of each T2 estimate may be corrupted by several instrumental factors such as rfpulse imperfectio
