Course
Objectives The focus of this seven-and-three-quarter hour course will be on moving from
basic design concepts to a working coil. Included will be system interface,
packaging and safety issues. The course will emphasize both theoretical and
practical aspects of RF design and construction.
Educational
Objectives:
Upon completion of this session,
participants should be able to: Define inductance, capacitance, resonance and
distributed capacitance with reference to RF coils, their design and operation; Describe the basic needs and components of a working RF
laboratory; Compare design and construction of two important types
of coils; Explain the fundamentals of RF coil connections to the
scanner;
Define inductance, capacitance, resonance and
distributed capacitance with reference to RF coils, their design and operation;
