- Description
- The Neurophysiology Imaging Facility (NIF) requires a replacement RF volume coil to improve reliability and mitigate RF transmit-receive coupling issues observed with specific receive arrays during 7T MRI studies. The existing coil, manufactured by Resonance Research Inc. (RRI), has exhibited repeated mechanical and electrical failures�specifically, broken tuning rods and unstable coupling behavior with large-loop receive coils. This procurement seeks to acquire a new volume transmit coil with improved mechanical durability and a modified design that reduces transmit-receive coupling. Enhanced decoupling will reduce flip angle inhomogeneity and T1 contrast variation, thereby improving image quality and consistency in functional and structural MRI experiments. The upgrade i essential to ensure compatibility with current and future receive coil configurations, maintain high data fidelity, and support ongoing NIH-funded neuroscience research.
