METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AND SPECTROSCOPY USING MICROSTRIP TRANSMISSION LINE COILS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems in resonance imaging (MRI), and particularly the problems of a surface coil and a volume coil for MRI imaging and spectral procedure in resonance imaging (MRI). SOLUTION: This method includes: a process of disposing a target to be imaged in the main magnetic field of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system; and disposing at least one coil at the proximity of the target. The method includes: a process of constructing the coil using at least one microstrip transmission line; and a process of imaging the target using the main magnet and the coil along with MRI.
