Metin Can Isik is back with the research group. He worked with us as an engineer from 2022 to 2026 and left in July. He has now started an M.S. degree at Bogazici University, supervised by Cengizhan Ozturk, with Ergin Atalar as his co-supervisor.
Welcome back, Metin.
Purpose To enhance the SNR in MRI within a localized region of interest using a novel interventional wireless RF resonator probe combined with a dual-drive pTx system. Methods A dual-drive body birdcage coil was operated in a linearly-polarized mode to decouple a passive RF resonator probe from the transmit field while maintaining the resonator in…
Purpose The purpose of this study is to create an EM simulation model for the NOVA 8Tx/32Rx RF head coil to further develop its applications in research and clinical use. The developed EM model has been made publicly available. Methods The coil was modeled as a combination of microstrips in Ansys HFSS. The currents on…
