| dc.description.abstract | This thesis will develop methods for analyzing CP receiver coils for use in MRI. In addition, background, theory, and modeling information will be discussed in this thesis. Coil designs and implementations will be extensively described. Afterwards, an example coil will be designed for significantly improved SNR over the spine, with a minimum of added cost and complexity. The receiver antenna will be evaluated in both lab and clinical environments, with the results presented in this thesis. Further MRI applications, limitations, summary, and conclusions of the CP RF coil will complete this work. | en |
