Application of Inductively Coupled Wireless Radio Frequency Probe to Knee Joint in Magnetic Resonance Image

An inductively coupled wireless coil for a radio frequency (RF) probe has been designed and applied to a human knee joint to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) in a magnetic resonance image (MRI). A birdcage type of a primary coil and a Helmholtz type of a wireless secondary coil have been manu...
