DESCRIPTION

Arterial Spin Labelling is a powerful method for angiography and perfusion measurements without using contrast agents.

Such studies put very high demands on the spectrometer and coil setup. Optimally, a coil package used for this purpose should consist of three separate coils, one transmit coil combined with a surface receive coil to perform the imaging experiments and one additional separate transmit coil used for spin labelling on the carotids.

RAPID Biomedical has developed such packages both for patient studies as well as animal experiments on the rat on a whole body scanner.
