What is the resonance frequency of an imaging coil which has a 1x10-7 Henry inductor and a 100 picofarad capacitor across the inductor? How can this coil be made to resonate at 63.85 MHz?
The two anit-Helmholtz coils of a Z gradient coil are separated by 120 cm. If this coil configuration can produce a magnetic field gradient of 2 G/cm, what is the magneitude of the magnetic field at the center of each coil?
Will the following pulse sequence adhere to the USFDA SAR guidelines for the head?
Sequence = multi-slice, spin echo
TR = 600 ms
TE = 25 ms
Thk = 3 mm
Number of slices = 17
Energy per 90o pulse = 10 J
Width of 90o pulse = 50 ms
Signal acquisition time = 10 ms
Patient weight = 80 kg
The quadrature detector on your imager has a reference signal of 63.85 MHz coming into one of the channels. The signal channel has a signal of 63.84 MHz coming into it. What frequency or frequencies will be coming out of the detector?
