- W1036666483 abstract "Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are two powerful medical diagnostic techniques used for human brain studies. However, wired power connection is a huge impediment for the clinical application of BCI, and most current BCIs have only been designed for immobile users in a carefully controlled environment. For the ultrahigh field (≥7T) MRI, limitations such as inhomogeneous distribution of the transmit field (B1+) and potential high power deposition inside the human tissues have not yet been fully combated by existing methods and are central in making ultrahigh field MRI practical for clinical use. In this dissertation, radio frequency (RF) methods are applied and RF antennas/coils are designed and optimized in order to overcome these barriers. These methods include: 1) designing implanted miniature antennas to transmit power wirelessly for implanted BCIs; 2) optimizing a new 20-channel transmit array design for 7 Tesla MRI neuroimaging applications; and 3) developing and implementing a dual-optimization method to design the RF shielding for fast MRI imaging methods. First, three miniaturized implanted antennas are designed and results obtained using finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations demonstrate that a maximum RF power of up to 1.8 miliwatts can be received at 2 GHz when the antennas are implanted at the dura, without violating the government safety regulations. Second, Eigenmode arrangement of the 20-channel transmit coil allows control of RF excitation not only at the XY plane but also along the Z direction. The presented results show the optimized eigenmode could generate 3D uniform transmit B1+ excitations. The optimization results have been verified by in-vivo experiments, and they are applied with different protocol sequences on a Siemens 7 Tesla MRI human whole body scanner equipped with 8 parallel transmit channels. Third, echo planar imaging (EPI), B1+ maps and S matrix measurements are used to verify that the proposed RF shielding can suppress the eddy currents while maintaining the RF characteristics of the transmit coil. The contributions presented here will provide a long-term and safer power transmission path compared to the wire-connected implanted BCIs and will bring ultrahigh field MRI technology closer to clinical applications." @default.
