Novel magnetic resonance antennas and applications
Abstract
This dissertation describes novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surface antennas and arrays, and their applications at both 3 and 7 Tesla. While the first half of this work describes flexible lightweight antenna arrays, the other half focuses on the use of solid ceramic high-permittivity materials as a substantial part of the antenna.
