摘要: Various methods and systems are provided for a disconnecting a receive coil from a transmit coil of a magnetic resonance (MR) system during a transmit operation. In one example, a cabling system may include a first line of coil-interfacing cable having a first set of hybrid switches, the first set of hybrid switches including a first switch, a first resonance circuit, and a second switch connected in series, and a second line of the coil-interfacing cable having a second set of hybrid switches, the first line and the second line of the coil-interfacing cable operably coupling one or more radio frequency (RF) coil elements to respective channels of the MR system. By positioning the first and the second sets of hybrid switches along different locations along the coil-interfacing cables, and simultaneously operating each set of hybrid switches, common mode currents may be interrupted along the coil-interfacing cables.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for radio frequency (RF) coils for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. In one embodiment, an RF coil configured for an MRI system comprises a plurality of RF coil conductors, each RF coil conductor comprising a base side with two arms extending therefrom. In this way, the RF coil may efficiently generate magnetic fields with improved channel isolation while producing fewer annefact artifacts.

摘要: An apparatus and method for decoupling between a body coil and a surface coil. The method comprising a first acquiring step of acquiring magnetic resonance (MR) signals by concurrent reception by a body coil and a surface coil in a plurality of views; a second acquiring step of acquiring MR signals by independent reception by the body coil in some of the plurality of views; an identifying step of identifying a correspondence between the concurrently-received MR signal for the body coil, the concurrently-received MR signals for the surface coil, and the independently-received MR signal for the body coil based on the concurrently-received MR signals in the some views and the independently-received MR signals for the body coil; and a calculation step of determining the independently-received MR signals for the body coil in others of the plurality of views based on the correspondence and using the concurrently-received MR signals for the body coil and surface coil in the other views.

摘要: In one example, an RF coil array includes a first RF coil configured to generate a magnetic field along a first axis, the first RF coil having a first surface, a second RF coil configured to generate a magnetic field along a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis, the second RF coil having a second surface, and a first foldable interconnect coupling the first RF coil to the second RF coil. The first foldable interconnect may be adjusted to couple the first RF coil to the second RF coil with a first amount of overlap and with the first surface and second surface facing a common direction, or couple the first RF coil to the second RF coil with a second amount of overlap, larger than the first amount of overlap, and with the first surface in face to face position with the second surface.
