    Abstract: A method of object detection in MRI comprises determining a filter representing an effect of an object in a frequency domain with respect to phase of a plurality of sampled data points of an MRI dataset (401) based on at least one phase saddle in a combined phase gradient field that is a combination of a phase gradient field caused by the object based on a shape and material of the object and a phase gradient field caused by an image sequence used to generate the MRI dataset. The filter is applied to a phase component of the sampled data points in the frequency domain. The effect of the object can comprise a change of the phase caused by the object.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address the problems with previously known MRI enhancement resonators. The embodiments provide capacitances that are sufficiently large to result in resonance frequencies that are sufficiently low for medical MRI applications in devices that are sufficiently small for implantation into the body. Further, the capacitance and resonance frequency of the MRI enhancement resonator may be easily adjusted to particular desired values by selecting corresponding thin-film dielectrics, or thicknesses of such thin-film dielectrics. Moreover, the design and geometry of the embodiments provide MRI enhancement resonators with high Q-factors. The construction and material of such MRI enhancement resonators also yield flexible and biocompatible devices that are appropriate for applications involving implantation into the body.

    Abstract: A coupler-resonator for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in subjects has a wire loop formed into a coupling loop, a central transmission portion, and sensor loops. The sensor loops hold EPR sensor materials and are coated with biocompatible plastic. The coupler-resonator is implanted in a subject, the subject in a nonuniform magnetic field with a pickup coil for RF response measurement apparatus near the subject's skin and inductively coupled to the coupling loop. Resonances are measured at multiple sensor loops distinguished by sweeping magnetic field or radio frequency. A biopsy sampler has an outer needle with sensor loop and a central sampling needle with cavity for biopsy samples and EPR sensor material. A device for EPR of fingernails has sensor loops in a partial glove for holding loops next to fingertips. A device for EPR of teeth has sensor loops in plastic chips that can be held between the teeth.
