In-Ovo MRI: design of a large-scale RF coil model

Motivation: The poultry industry utilizes MRI to assess egg quality, especially to identify fertilized eggs. Image quality across eggs should be similar and with efficient filling factor. Goal(s): The goal is to design a specialized coil for MRI that can efficiently and accurately scan multiple eggs , providing the same image quality for each egg. Approach: The proposed coil has a multiloop structure. We used electromagnetic simulations to compute the magnetic field and compared the proposed coil with a volume and individual loop coils. Results: Validated through simulations and MR images, the coil displayed the scalability and, enabling the imaging of multiple eggsImpact: The proposed coil design shows better egg per area filling factor efficiency and uniform image quality for each egg and also scalability for high-throughput egg screening. This design promises to enhance multiple egg imaging quality control in the poultry industry.
