An inflatable surface coil for transrectal magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate was designed. The coil was tested during imaging of an insulated saline phantom and of the prostates of four patients. Phantom images were comparable to those obtained with commercial coils of similar size. High spatial resolution and excellent contrast were noted in coronal images of the prostates. Use of this coil could substantially improve studies of the prostate and cervix.
设计了一种用于前列腺经直肠磁共振成像的可充气表面线圈。该线圈在对绝缘盐水体模和四名患者的前列腺进行成像时进行了测试。体模图像与使用类似尺寸的商业线圈获得的图像相当。在前列腺的冠状图像中观察到高空间分辨率和出色的对比度。使用该线圈可大幅改善对前列腺和子宫颈的研究。
