Full Duplex System for Simultaneous Transmit and Receive MRI Systems

This research project seeks to address the efficacy of using Simultaneous Transmit and Receive radio frequency (RF) signals for next-generation safe and low-cost MRI systems. By cancelling the coupled signals from transmit to receive channels, a full duplex RF system can be implemented, and the desired RF MRI signals can be acquired. Distribution of RF power in time results in significantly reduced peak power requirements, and detection of Ultrashort relaxation times is useful in analysis of certain hard materials. These factors culminate in devices that are especially suited to provide medical professionals and patients with more accurate information at lower energy costs.
