HIGH-PERFORMANCE NANOMATERIAL COIL ARRAYS FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

摘要: Magnetic Resonance Imaging with imaging coils at least partially formed from carbon-based nanomaterials possessing high Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) are disclosed. The or Radio Frequency receiving constructed a locally ballistic electrical conductor such as carbon in the form of macroscopic configuration nanotubes variations thereof whose resistance does not increase significantly length over appropriate local scales. Due to their enhanced SNR properties, nanomaterial and arrays including can result significant improvements MRI systems. include metal conductors deposited on ends coils.
