Latest Patents
Stefan Schonhardt holds a patent for a "Modular multi-channel coil array for an MRI having decoupling of next but one neighbors." This invention features a multi-channel coil array designed for use as a transceiver in MRI systems. The array consists of multiple radio frequency (RF) coils arranged next to each other, equipped with devices for electromagnetically decoupling the RF coils. The coils are applied onto a planar carrier element, which has a regular, equilateral polygonal outer contour. The design allows for a loop-shaped structure in individual coils, facilitating decoupling of coils that are not immediately adjacent. This modular design reduces the space required for adding new coils and allows for easy implementation of various three-dimensional or two-dimensional shapes.
