We propose a novel metamaterial-based device inserted in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) setup in order to enhance the MRI efficiency. More precisely, we show that a negative magnetic permeability metamaterial, coupled to a standard radio-frequency surface coil, allows to boost the magnetic resonance imaging signal to noise ratio with respect to the standard setup. We believe that the proposed setup holds great potential in MRI applications.

Abstract
We propose a novel metamaterial-based device inserted in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) setup in order to enhance the MRI efficiency. More precisely, we show that a negative magnetic permeability metamaterial, coupled to a standard radio-frequency surface coil, allows to boost the magnetic resonance imaging signal to noise ratio with respect to the standard setup. We believe that the proposed setup holds great potential in MRI applications.File in questo prodotto:
