| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a microstrip transmission line radio frequency (RF) coil to be used for the positron emission tomography (PET) imaging simultaneously with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. This coil can be used for parallel imaging that will accelerate the imaging time. It is also suitable for ultrahigh field MRI systems, like a 7 Tesla MRI system. At ultrahigh field diagnostic imaging quality improves with high signal intensity and low noise and high resolution. Different other RF shielding materials and imaging materials were also purchased for PET insert development. We also attended several scientific meetings and published scientific papers to establish some of study results. Some study are on way for publication in the near future. We also achieved a patent on the proposed RF coil. However, due to the unavailability of the required wireless module, we could not pursue our previous plan of a wireless PET. We are extremely sorry for that. Thank you very much.
