Abstract

A planar YBa~2~Cu~3~O~x~ (YBCO) coil has been used as a pick‐up coil in a nuclear magnetic resonance imager. It was found that the quality factor Q of the YBCO coil was greater than its copper counterpart by approaching 50% even in a field of 0.15 T. The Q of the copper coil at 77 K and in a field of 0.15 T was 1200 while that of the YBCO coil under identical conditions was 1700. Β© 1991 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract We have designed a solid endorectal receiver coil for MRI of the prostate. The coil provided an improved signal‐to‐noise ratio up to 5 cm from its surface when compared with a standard pelvic phased array. This preliminary report describes 16 patients who were imaged using this coil, se
