Balun or trap circuits are critical components for suppressing common-mode currents
flowing on the outer conductors of coaxial cables in RF coil systems for Magnetic …

Receive coils used in small animal MRI are rigid, inflexible surface loops that do not conform
to the anatomy being imaged. The recent trend toward design of stretchable coils that are …

Purpose Coil arrays are connected to the main MRI system with long, shielded coaxial
cables. RF coupling of these cables to the main transmit coil can cause high shield currents …

Objective: We propose a modular stretchable coil design using conductive threads and
commercially available embroidery machines. The coil design increases customizability of …

Flexible coils offer improved patient comfort and better imaging quality. However, rigid and
bulky baluns in RF coils limit flexibility and manufacturing. A miniaturized and flexible balun …

Common-mode currents can degrade the RF coil performance and introduce potential safety
hazards in MRI. Baluns are the standard method to suppress these undesired common …

We report on a 16-channel bilateral breast coil array for high-resolution MR imaging at 3T
which can be used for both prone and supine breast MRI. This coil aims to improve signal-to …

Objective: We propose a 16-channel bilateral breast coil array prototype for high-resolution
MR imaging at 3T. This coil aims to improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by positioning the …

Floating cable traps (FCTs) enhance coil tuning, improve the signal-to-noise ratio of
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and reduce the risks to patients. As MRI technology …

Radiofrequency coils are utilized during transmit and receive of MRI signals. Cable traps
remove common-mode current from the coaxial cable shield, which helps improve the image …
