Abstract:Purpose
The positron emission tomography (PET) insert for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system that implements the radiofrequency (RF) built‐in body coil of the MRI system as a transmitter is designed to be RF‐transparent, as the coil resides outside the RF‐shielded PET ring. This approach reduces the design complexities (e.g., large PET ring diameter) related to implementing a transmit coil inside the PET ring. However, achieving the required field transmission into the imaging region of interest (ROI) b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
