Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Changes in reduction-oxidation (redox) status are believed to be related with onsets or propagation of various diseases. In this project, technologies to improve redox-imaging apparatus for large object was developed for establishing clinical redox scanner as future goal. Based on a human size low field magnet, all major components including MRI T/R coil, ESR coil, preamplifier and digital detection systems have been carefully upgraded to achieve high signal-to-noise ration of redox images. As the results, under clinically relevant scan conditions such as scan time SAR a highly sensitive redox imaging system has been constructed.
