Research Grants 1. Design and construction of a microstrip quadrature volume RF coil for China Basin 7T Department seed grant, Dec 2010 - Dec 2011, Dept. of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, UCSF. Goal: Design and construct a quadrature transceiver volume coil using microstrip technique for whole body mouse study at 7T. FDTD Simulation, bench measurement on network analyzer and MR test on 7T scanner will be performed to evaluate the performance of this coil. Fast gradient echo sequence and spin echo sequence will be used for MR scanning. 2. Multi-voxel excitation sparse pulse for MR-spectroscopy Department seed grant, Oct 2010 - Oct 2011, Dept. of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, UCSF. Goal: MR-spectroscopy using sparse pulse excitation which is based on sparse k-space can shorten the excitation pulse width. The feasibility of this method is demonstrated using phantom imaging on 3T and 7T MR scanner. Large tip angle sparse pulses up to 270o will be implemented. 3. Non-Cartesian Compressed Sensing MRI and sparse pulse design using simulated annealing optimized k-trajectory Department seed grant, Nov 2009 - Nov 2010, Dept. of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, UCSF. Goal: Design time-optimal k-space trajectory for non-Cartesian compressed sensing MRI and sparse pulse. Demonstrate the feasibility of this method using phantom tests on 3T or 7T MR scanner.
