  1. RF Coil Design Optimization in Cervical Carotid Imaging Rock Hadley MIRL Symposium Sundance September 13, 2002 Go Take A Hike!

  2. Available Carotid Coils 4-channel commercial Neurovascular volume coil home-built bilateral 4-element carotid Phased-array coil

  3. bilateral 4-element carotid PA coil 300% SNR improvement over anterior neck coil commercial anterior neck coil Dedicated Carotid Coils

  4. carotid bifurcation circle of Willis relative SNR aortic arch image slice number Coil Comparisons

  5. Magnetic Field of a Circular Loop cross-sectional contour plots coil axis coil signal shadow magnitude (all field components) axial-component (signal component)

  7. Simulation Model s = 0, er = 1 (air) coil x surface coil axis depth vessel aortic arch bifurcation circle of Willis s = 0.3, er = 73 (muscle) figure of merit = average SNR along entire vessel (weighting of specific vessel points optional)

  8. Simulation Model

  9. Example Simulation • 24 cm vessel length • - 6 cm depth at aortic arch • - 3 cm depth at carotid bifurcation • - 9 cm depth at circle of Willis • Results:

  11. Simulation Results

  12. Conclusions • This simulation tool provides a method for the study of optimum coil arrays for various carotid artery anatomy • Number of channels needed for optimal carotid imaging is about 16 – 20 channels

  13. Minimize magnetic and electric coupling between coils to determine proper coil overlap Adapt to non-planer surfaces to more closely match the anatomy of the shoulders, head, and neck Future Work

  14. Coil Properties magnetic field of a circular loop (cross-sectional contour plots) coil axis coil signal shadow magnitude (all field components) axial-component (signal component)

  18. Methods: Neurovascular Coil

  19. C2 C2 C3 C3 C2 C2 C1 C2 C1 C2 L L D1 Gap on back side of copper substrate l /4 triax balun cables Coil layout Dual PA Coil (Hayes et al. Magn Reson Med 18:309-319, 1991)

  20. Methods: Ladder Coil Set UP coil 3 / 5 slabs coil 2 / 3 slabs coil 1 / 4 slabs

  21. Torso PA Inverted Dual PA Chest Dual PA Carotid PA Head Dual PA + GE standard head coil (GE Head) + Commercial Neurovascular PA coils (NVPA)

  22. Develop a coil for MRA screening from the aortic arch to the top of the head Use dedicated coil elements for each section of specific anatomy Ability to use the same coil for high-resolution imaging of suspect regions Purpose
