Abstract
A specially designed radio frequency receiver coil was used in a low-field- strength (0.1 T) magnetic resonance imager to improve the image quality of the Beagle brain. The aim was to obtain better distinction of anatomic deta ils with a better signal-to-noise ratio in shorter imaging time. The spin-e cho (TR/TE = 1200/100: TR is the repetition time and TE is the echo time in ms) brain images of three Beagles indicate that the new receiver coil can fulfill these goals.
