Characterization of perfluorocarbon relaxation times and their influence on the optimization of fluorine-19 MRI at 3 tesla.

abstract：:The design of a piezoelectric-controlled trimmer capacitor and its use as a tuning element of an MRI surface coil at 63.8 MHz are described. It is found that image quality does not depend strongly on match of the coil to the transmission line but that tuning can be a significant factor. The work is intended to lead ev...

abstract：:Wavelet packet analysis is a mathematical transformation that can be used to post-process images, for example, to remove image noise ("denoising"). At a very low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR <5), standard magnitude magnetic resonance images have skewed Rician noise statistics that degrade denoising performance. Since th...
