Low field (60mT) MRI using flexible coil for prostate imaging

Motivation: The low field (60mT) MRI system offers advantages such as affordability and portability. Goal(s): To develop flexible coils for low field (60mT) MRI to improve image quality. Approach: Designing a multi-channel receive coil using flexible body coil technology, allowing improved workflow, close proximity to the patient's body and improved SNR. Results: The flexible coil demonstrated higher SNR in phantom experiment, enhancing image quality and enabling visualization of previously undetected areas in in-vivo experiment. Impact: The advancements in flexible coils have the potential to improve image guided procedures, facilitating accurate targeted biopsies and ultimately improving patient outcomes.
