Development of a Helmet-Shape Dual-Channel RF coil for brain imaging at 54 mT using inverse boundary element method.

Very-low field (VLF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers advantages in term of size, weight, cost, and the absence of robust shielding requirements. However, it encounters challenges in maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to low magnetic fields (below 100 mT). Developing a close-fitting radio frequency (RF) receive coil is crucial to improve the SNR.

Multi-Scale Feature Interactive Fusion Network for RGBT Tracking.

The fusion tracking of RGB and thermal infrared image (RGBT) is paid wide attention to due to their complementary advantages. Currently, most algorithms obtain modality weights through attention mechanisms to integrate multi-modalities information. They do not fully exploit the multi-scale information and ignore the rich contextual information among features, which limits the tracking performance to some extent.

An optimized quadrature RF receive coil for very-low-field (50.4 mT) magnetic resonance brain imaging.

The radiofrequency (RF) receive coil is a direct probe for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and its performance determines the quality of MRI results. The RF coil employed for low-field MRI has a low working frequency, which makes its characteristic different from the RF coil exploited for conventional clinic MRI and may result in a different optimum RF coil configuration. To design and optimize a head RF receive coil for a very-low-field (50.

Use of 2.1 MHz MRI scanner for brain imaging and its preliminary results in stroke.

Cerebral stroke greatly contributes to death and disability rates in China and the whole world. Effective non-invasive imaging device for bedside monitoring of stroke is critically needed in clinically. This study developed a lightweight (350 kg) and low-footprint magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for brain imaging.

Optimized inside-out magnetic resonance probe for soil moisture measuring in situ.

We report a novel inside-out NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) probe for the measurement of soil moisture. The probe consists of a dumbbell-shape magnet and an opposed-solenoid RF (radio frequency) coil. Optimization methods for the structure of the magnet and RF coil that maximize the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of NMR measurements are also described.

An unusual case of Welder's siderosis with local massive fibrosis: a case report.

Welder's siderosis was traditionally described as "benign pneumoconiosis" because of the absence of associated symptoms, functional impairment or pulmonary fibrosis. Although several authors have reported evidence of fibrosis in the lungs of welders, siderosis with local massive fibrosis has been rarely described. In this paper, we present a case of Welder's siderosis with local massive fibrosis mimicking lung cancer.

Copolymerization of divinylsilyl-11-silicotungstic acid with butyl acrylate and hexanediol diacrylate: synthesis of a highly proton-conductive membrane for fuel-cell applications.

Highly conducive to high conductivity: Polyoxometalates were incorporated in the backbone of a hydrocarbon polymer to produce proton-conducting films. These first-generation materials contain large, dispersed clusters of polyoxometalates. Although the morphology of these films is not yet optimal, they already demonstrate practical proton conductivities and proton diffusion within the clusters appears to be very high.

Ferromagnetic coupling in hexanuclear gadolinium clusters.

The magnetic susceptibilities of hexanuclear gadolinium clusters in the compounds Gd(Gd6ZI12) (Z = Co, Fe, or Mn) and CsGd(Gd6CoI12)2 are reported and subjected to theoretical analysis with the help of density functional theory (DFT) computations. The single-crystal structure of Gd(Gd6CoI12) is reported here as well. We find that the compound with a closed shell of cluster bonding electrons, Gd(Gd6CoI12), exhibits the effects of antiferromagnetic coupling over the entire range of temperatures measured (4-300 K).
