This article reviews recent developments in designing and testing new types of materials
which can be:(i) placed around the body for in vivo imaging,(ii) be integrated into a …

We present a review outlining the basic mechanism, background, recent technical
developments, and clinical applications of aqueous dielectric padding in the field of MRI …

Magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI and MRS) are both widely used
techniques in medical diagnostics and research. One of the major thrusts in recent years has …

Purpose Incorporating high dielectric constant (HDC) materials into radiofrequency (RF)
coils has been shown to effectively improve RF coil performance at 7 and 3 T because of the …

Background There is growing interest in detecting cerebro‐cerebellar circuits, which
requires adequate blood oxygenation level dependent contrast and signal‐to‐noise ratio …

Objective The purpose of this work is to investigate the use of ceramic materials (based on
BaTiO 3 with ZrO 2 and CeO 2-additives) with very high relative permittivity (ε r∼ 4500) to …

Visualization of focused ultrasound in high spatial and temporal resolution is crucial for
accurately and precisely targeting brain regions noninvasively. Magnetic resonance imaging …

We present a method of memory footprint reduction for FFT-based, electromagnetic (EM)
volume integral equation (VIE) formulations. The arising Green's function tensors have low …

Flexible, stretchable, and MR-invisible dielectric materials were studied to increase the local
magnetic field (B 1) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in magnetic resonance imaging. An …

Abstract Purpose Ultrahigh field (≥ 7 T) MRI is at the cutting edge of medical imaging,
enabling enhanced spatial and spectral resolution as well as enhanced susceptibility …
