3168. RF
Pre-emphasis for suppression of coil-to-coil coupling in
multiple-mouse MRI
T. DeYoung, O. Botelho, S. Wong, J. Sled, B. Nieman
University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
Impact: Multiple-mouse MRI enables high-throughput
pre-clinical studies. Implementations at high-field may show
a greater degree of coil-to-coil coupling that reduces image
quality. We present a compensation strategy to reduce these
effects and improve image quality for high-throughput
studies.
