A deep brain stimulation–conditioned RF coil for 3T MRI
Purpose
To develop and test an MRI coil assembly for imaging deep brain stimulation (DBS) at 3 T with a reduced level of local specific absorption rate of RF fields near the implant.
Methods
A mechanical rotatable linearly polarized birdcage transmitter outfitted with a 32-channel receive array was constructed. The coil performance and image quality were systematically evaluated using...
