Developing a Novel B0 Shimming Method and a Wireless Implantable Coil for MRI.

In our project, we enhance MRI quality by advancing "RF transparent" DC coil technology, a leap forward in reducing B0 inhomogeneity. Diverging from traditional methods, our approach minimizes the use of bulky RF chokes by employing separate local DC coils, thus allowing greater design freedom and easier implementation of multiple turns. A significant challenge - the strong coupling between DC and RF coils - is addressed by our novel "RF transparent" DC coil. This innovation has minimal impact on RF performance, effectively solving the coupling issue while optimizing imaging quality. Our work not only paves the way for more precise MRI imaging but also showcases a scalable solution that can be integrated into existing MRI systems.
