  • 목적: We has proposed a surface coil which has improved SNR compared with the standard head coil. Usually, a cylindrical head coil provide good homogeneity but less SNR than surface coil. A surface coil has better SNR at the expense of image homogeneity. In this paper, a surface coil of transmit-receive mode offers a better SNR as compared with a head coil.

  • MRI검사 시 다양한 환자를 고려한 변화에 적절한 coil의 선택과 조건에 따른 SNR의 차이를 조사하여 우수한 SNR의 영상을 획득하고자 한다. MR영상 획득실험은 Bottle Phantom를 이용하여 Philips achieva 1.5T와 SIMENS 1.0T을 이용하여 sequence별, surface coil별로 MR영상을 획득하여 SNR를 구하였다. 주자장이 1.0T에서 가장 높은 SNR은 TSE와 FLAIR에서 knee coil, GE에서 head coil로 측정되었고, 주자장이 1.5에서 가장 높은 SNR은 TSE에서 head coil, FLAIR와 GE에서 knee coil로 측정되었다. 본 연구에서 획득한 결과를 중심으로 다양한 환자를 고려한 변화에 따른 적절한 coil의 선택과 조건에 따라 SNR의 차이를 조사하여 우수한 SNR의 영상을 제시하여야 한다.

  • We describe quadrature type surface coil for functional magnetic resonance imaging at 3T MRI system. The coil consisted of two coplanar resonators and was used as both transmitter and receiver. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the coil was compared with that of a standard birdcage head coil. Visual cortex activation on normal subjects using LED flicker was performed. The SNR of surface coil was found to be better than that of the conventional head coil.

  • A very simple a.c. magnetic susceptometer for use in a helium closed cycle cryostat is reported in this paper. This simple setup has only a single bobbin-less copper coil, instead of the primary coil and two secondary coils typically used in mutual-inductance types. The single bobbin-less copper coil is directly mounted on the cryostat cold head. A sample is attached on the inside wall of the copper coil using a thermal contact material and its a.c. magnetic susceptibility is obtained from the measurement of the self-inductance of the sample coil using an LCR meter or an impedance analyzer. Experimental details are described and illustrative measurements on magnetic and superconducting materials as a function of temperature are included. The performances and limitations of this simple a.c. magnetic suceptometer are also discussed.

  • 본 논문에서는 자기 벡터 포텐셜 해석을 통해 3-코일 구조를 갖는 금속 검출기 헤드가 수신 코일에 미치는 유도 전압을 구하고, 금속 물체의 특성이 송신 코일의 임피던스에 미치는 영향을 유도하였다. 이러한 해석을 통하여 최적의 검출 성능을 위한 송신 코일과 수신 코일 간의 거리를 구하였고, 최대 유도 전압을 출력하는 금속의 위치를 유도하였다. 또한 기존의 수식과 비교하여 본 논문의 자기 벡터 포텐셜 해석에 대한 타당성을 입증하였다.

  • In this paper, the electric field distribution induced inside the brain during Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS) has been thoroughly investigated in terms of tissue heterogeneity and anisotropy as well as different head models. To achieve this, first, an elaborate head model consisting of seven major parts of the head has been built based on the Magnetic Resonance(MR) image data. Then the Finite Element Method(FEM) has been used to evaluate the electric field distribution under different head models or three different conductivity conditions when the head model has been exposed to a time varying magnetic field achieved by utilizing the Figure-Of-Eight(FOE) stimulation coil. The results show that the magnitude as well as the distribution of the induced field is significantly affected by the degree of geometrical asymmetry of head models and conductivity conditions with respect to the center of the FOE coil.

  • In this paper, we have developed a new mounting head system for flip chip. The proposed head system consists of a macro/micro positioning actuator for stable force control. The macro actuator provides the system with a gross motion while the micro device yields fine tuned motion to reduce the harmful impact force that occurs between very small sized electronic parts and the surface of a PCB(printed circuit board). In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed macro/micro chip mounting system, we compared the proposed system with the conventional chip mounting head equipped with a macro actuator only. A series of experiments were executed under the mounting conditions such as various access velocities and PCB stiffness. As a result of this study, a satisfactory voice coil actuator as the micro actuator has been developed, and its performance meet well the specifications desired for the design of the chip mounting head system and show good correspondence between theoretical analysis and experimental results.
