A Design Scheme for 1H/31P Dual-Nuclear Parallel MRI Coil

doi:10.11938/cjmr20192737

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the principle of birdcage coil and the decoupling theory of array coil, a design scheme for dual-nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coil is proposed. A LC parallel trap is used to improve the adaptability of the inductive decoupling scheme. According to the design scheme and simulation, a ¹H/³¹P dual-nuclear parallel MRI coil is fabricated for a 4.7 T system. Dual-nuclear parallel imaging experiments are carried out on a custom-built MRI system to verify the feasibility of the coil design.

Key words: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ¹H/³¹P dual-nuclear coil, parallel imaging, birdcage coil, trap decoupling, detuned
