| Abstract: | Can we implement a toroidal transceiver to use a deep brain stimulation electrode as an internal RF-coil? The toroid will be constructed with an T/R switch and tested on the Aera MRI at the UT. Furthermore, we will establish the safety compared to a standard body coil by performing simulations and investigating the B1+ and SAR fields caused by the coils. The results suggest that the toroid has potential for safer and better use of MRI during DBS placement, by improving homogeneity of the B1+ and predictability of the SAR. |
