Abstract
The talk will be mainly dedicated to instrumentation for MRI of carbon 13 with focus on coil and associated high frequency electronics design.
The low natural abundance of the 13C isotope makes in vivo imaging extremely challenging. This limitation has been overcome with the development of the dynamic nuclear polarization technique. The technique, however, requires dedicated coil development for careful acquisition of the signal. In this talk, the highlights of 13 MRI coil development at DTU will be presented, including cryogenic receive coils, extremely low noise preamplifiers, transmit cols with a homogeneous B1 field and others.
