McCurrin, Casey (2012-10-19)Concern for the nonphysiologic energy required to actuate medical devices utilizing “smart material” properties of shape memory polymer (SMP) compels a rigorous investigation into the flow and temperature fields surrounding ...
-
Bhatia, Sahil (2010-07-14)Phased array surface coils offer high SNR over a large field of view. Phased array volume coils have high SNR at the surface and centre of the volume. Most array coil designs typically employ a combination of geometrical ...
-
Kampani, Vishal Virendra (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The circuit described in this study is intended for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) application. The function of this circuit is to transmit RF energy to the sample and then receive the RF energy. The circuit that does ...
-
Godley, Richard Franklin (2012-10-19)When increasing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) resolution into the micron scale, image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be maintained by using small radiofrequency (RF) coils in close proximity to the sample being imaged. ...
