An 8-Channel High-permittivity Dielectric Material-Coated Half-Wave Dipole Antenna Array for Knee Imaging at 7T.

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging for Musculoskeletal imaging plays a vital role in the early detection of various abnormalities. New array systems designed explicitly for Musculoskeletal imaging at Ultra-high field strengths are being developed rapidly. In this study, we propose a new 8-channel array system consisting of High-permittivity dielectric material-coated half-wave dipole antennas for knee imaging at Ultra-high field 7 Tesla.
