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.
