| Research Abstract |
Metallic implant causes distortion of images in conventional MRI. The purpose of this study is to develop an ultralow-field MRI system which enables us to obtain images of samples with metallic implants. A magnetic shield, a liquid-helium dewar, imaging coils, and driving circuits were newly developed. The characteristics of the SQUID was evaluated theoretically and experimentally.
