Novel MRI Hardware

Many applications of body MRI may be improved or enabled by optimization of dedicated radiofrequency receiver arrays.  Thus, we are actively developing new approaches to design and construction of miniaturized radiofrequency receiver arrays for optimized and personalized MRI exams.
