Design and Development of Dual Tuned 19F and 1H RF Birdcage Coils for Small Animal MRI at 3T
(2015)Conventional proton (1H) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is generally insensitive to the lung due to the low tissue density and other complicating factors. On the other hand, inhaled inert fluorinated gas MRI is a ... -
Dual-modality image guided high intensity focused ultrasound device design for prostate cancer : a numerical study
(2010)In this study we established the feasibility of designing a multi-element high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device for Magnetic Resonance and an ultrasound imaging-guided transrectal treatment of prostate cancer. ... -
In vitro detection of apoptosis using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and molecular magnetic resonance imaging
(2010)Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles have the potential to greatly expand current anatomical imaging techniques, specifically MRI. SPIO nanoparticles targeted to phosphatidylserine (PS) have the potential to ... -
Medical applications of fluorine-19 and hyperpolarized xenon129 magnetic resonance imaging
(2020)Multinuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently under extensive development. Although conventional proton MRI is mostly known as an anatomical medical imaging modality with an excellent soft tissue contrast, ... -
Optimum switch sizing for class DE amplifier
(2018)Recently, integrated class DE ampli fiers without matching networks have been proposed as a compact solution to drive a multi-element piezoelectric ultrasound transducer array for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ...
