RF coil design
RF coil design involves creating a device that efficiently generates and detects radiofrequency signals within MRI systems. These coils act as antennas, transmitting RF energy into the body to produce images and then catching the returning signals. Good design ensures uniform signal coverage, strong signal strength, and minimal interference, which are essential for high-quality imaging. Engineers carefully choose materials, shapes, and sizes to optimize these properties for different body parts or applications. Overall, RF coil design balances electromagnetic principles with practical considerations to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort.
