    摘要: A radiofrequency detection and acquisition system, which is based on SQUID and configured to be integrated into a nuclear magnetic resonance system, comprises a primary detection antenna, a flux transformer having an inlet winding connected to the primary detection antenna, a low critical temperature SQUID device for capturing the magnetic flux produced by an outlet winding of the flux transformer and supplying a secondary detection signal, a cryogenic device for cooling the SQUID device and the flux transformer, and means for processing the secondary detection signal emitted by the SQUID device to supply an analogue acquisition signal. The primary detection antenna may be of the volume type, comprising Helmholtz coils or saddle coils, or a more complex volume geometry, particularly gradiometric geometry. The means for processing the secondary detection signal may comprise a flux-locked loop, provided to linearize the response of the SQUID device.

    摘要: The disclosure of the present invention provides for an imaging apparatus and methods for imaging the cranio-cervical junction of a patient using magnetic resonance. The apparatus is adapted to slide over the patient's head, and includes a saddle element and a solenoid element. The saddle element has a length that extends along a superior-inferior axis of the patient, and a circumference along an axial plane of the patient when the apparatus is slid over the patient's head, so as to define a substantially cylindrical volume. The solenoid element attaches to the saddle element at about a midpoint of the saddle element's length, so as to be positioned along an axial plane of the patient when the apparatus is slid over the patient's head. This configuration allows for the cranio-cervical junction of the patient to be positioned in the cylindrical volume when the apparatus is slid over the patient's head.

    摘要: A multiple resonance sample coil for a magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance probe is comprised of a solenoid coil that resonates at low frequencies and a resonator that resonates at high frequencies. The ends of the low frequency solenoid coil are electrically connected to the high frequency resonator to eliminate arcing and allow the solenoid coil to extend the full width of the resonator. In some embodiments, the high frequency resonator is constructed from the outermost turns of the solenoid coil in the form of a birdcage resonator. In another embodiment, the solenoid coil is electrically connected to one turn of the resonator and the other turn is used as part of a trap to shunt the resonator at low frequencies.

    摘要: A non-destructive inspection of epoxy-based objects by creating a substantially uniform magnetic field of about 0.1 to 0.5 Tesla within a magnetic field region at least partially overlapping with a test zone where the inspected object is to be located, applying electromagnetic excitation signals in the test site to affect the nuclei magnetization in the inspected object and concurrently generating magnetic gradients in three orthogonal directions thereinside, to thereby cause spatially resolved nuclear spin echo signals from the inspected object. Data corresponding to electromagnetic radiation received responsive to the nuclear spin echo signals from the inspected object is processed to extract data indicative of the spatially resolved nuclear spin echo signals from the inspected object, and magnetic resonance images indicative of structural defects in the object are then generated using the extracted data.

    摘要: Systems and methods which employ a high temperature superconductor (HTS) receiver coil configuration for MRI analysis of small volume subjects, such as infants, are shown. Embodiments provide a HTS tape RF phase array receiver coil implementation. The foregoing HTS tape receiver coil implementation may be provided in a Helmholtz coil configuration. With such a Helmholtz coil configuration, circuitry is preferably provided to provide tuning, matching, and/or decoupling with respect to the HTS receiver coils. Embodiments implement a cryostat configuration to maintain one or more HTS receiver coils at a desired operating temperature (e.g., ≦77° K) while providing a safe environment for a subject (e.g., infant) being imaged.

    摘要: This invention relates generally to detection devices having one or more small wells each surrounded by, or in close proximity to, an NMR micro coil, each well containing a liquid sample with magnetic nanoparticles that self-assemble or disperse in the presence of a target analyte, thereby altering the measured NMR properties of the liquid sample. The device may be used, for example, as a portable unit for point of care diagnosis and/or field use, or the device may be implanted for continuous or intermittent monitoring of one or more biological species of interest in a patient.
