Abstract

A hinged anoscope for insertion of rectal catheters is presented. Catheters attached to or integrally part of an external monitoring device or collecting system can be inserted through this endoscope. The endoscope can be removed without disconnecting the catheter from the external device.

Catheter tracking for MR fluoroscopy: design of a transmit/receive coil for use with a nasogastric tube.

A coil tuned to 21.3 MHz was incorporated into a nasogastric tube and used as a marker of tube position during magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in a 0.5-T scanner. Catheter tracking was investigated with the coil used in both transmit/receive and in receive-only modes. Data acquired from this coil were overlaid on images obtained using the body coil of the scanner. Visualization of the full length of the catheter with local high signal at the tip was achieved with a temporal resolution of approximately 1 second. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2001;13:127-130.

Use of multicoil arrays for separation of signal from multiple slices simultaneously excited.

Increased acquisition efficiency has been achieved by exciting several slices simultaneously. The mixed data were unfolded to produce separate slices using the spatial encoding information inherent in a multicoil receiver system. Each coil yields a linear combination of signals from all excited slices weighted by the sensitivity of each coil. A matrix inversion provides a solution to unfold these images.

Application of the SUSHI method to the design of gradient coils.

An approach to potential improvements in magnetic field shielding for a gradient coil system with cylindrical geometry is presented, utilizing "supershielding" conditions for the currents on both the primary and the secondary coils. It is demonstrated that the field can be strongly suppressed everywhere outside a cylindrical shield coil radius, even though the finite-length active shield only partially surrounds a primary coil. The supershielding method, which is aimed at controlling eddy currents, still has sufficient freedom to maintain the desired magnetic field behavior inside the imaging volume. The trade-off is an additional primary current oscillation and increased current peaks and field energy. This method has been applied to design short transverse and axial gradient coils, giving substantially improved shielding compared to an apodization method. Magn Reson Med 45:147-155, 2001.
