Custom integration of a magnetic-field monitoring system into a 32-channel MRI head coil.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Customizing a Siemens 32-channel coil for use in a Philips 3T MRI system with incorporated magnetic field probes for collecting high-quality MRI and magnetic-field monitoring data concurrently.

Methods

The development process of the custom coil involved several (iterative) phases. Standard temporal SNR and B₁ ⁺ data were collected with the 32-channel Siemens and for reference the 32-channel/8-channel Philips head coils before and after the custom coil was made compatible with the 3T Philips Achieva system, and magnetic field probes were installed into it along with ancillary electronics around it. Quality assurance tests were conducted in each of the build phases to ensure that the modifications did not affect MRI or field-monitoring data negati
