3299. Simple
Universal Codes: Lossless Compression for Lower MRI Data
Transmission Rates
T. Zhang, F. Robb, S. Vasanawala, J. Pauly, G. Scott
Stanford University, Stanford, United States
Impact: MRI k-space data appears compressible by 3x
before data transmission. This means band-limited wireless
coil arrays (WiFi or ultra-wideband) could support image 3x
higher throughput, or operate with significantly slower link
rates. This would be crucial for robust performance.

3300. Techniques
in Low-IF, Low Power MRI Front Ends
A. Fontaine, F. Robb, S. Vasanawala, J. Pauly, G. Scott
Stanford University, Stanford, United States
Impact: If the front end electronics can be distributed
on the coil array, this opens the possibility of data
transmission with a wireless interface. The receive
topology could eliminate cable trap baluns, which inhibit
flexibility and wearability, compromising form factor.

3311. Metamaterial-aided
reconstruction of under-sampled k-spaces

Impact: Reducing acquisition time improves patient
comfort and reduces motion artifacts. To achieve further
acceleration, however, the frequency encoding should be
under-sampled. While the method presented in this abstract
can theoretically accomplish this, new configurations of
metamaterials must be investigated.
