Cardiac coil boosts data acquisition on Toshiba 1.5T

May 7, 2008 Cardiac coil boosts data acquisition on Toshiba 1.5T Greg Freiherr -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quality Electrodynamics has constructed and tested a 32-channel cardiac array for use on the Toshiba 1.5T Vantage Atlas that its developers say will provide acceleration factors in any direction, including oblique phase-encoding, which is often applied in cardiac imaging. In a presentation May 7 at the ISMRM meeting, the development team showed results indicating that the array, which leverages parallel imaging techniques, enables advanced coronary MRI applications within much shorter acquisition times than would otherwise be possible. The team was composed of staff from the Mayfield Village, OH-based coil company, Toshiba, and Case Western Reserve University.
