32 channel torso coil

Manufactured by Philips

The 32-channel torso coil is a radio frequency (RF) coil designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. It is used to transmit and receive radio frequency signals to and from the patient's torso region, enabling high-quality image acquisition for diagnostic and research purposes.

Liver MRI with T1ρ Relaxation Analysis

MRI was performed using a 3.0-T scanner (Achieva; Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) with a 32-channel torso coil. The breath-hold technique was used to minimise respiratory motion artefacts. Volume shimming was used to minimise B0 inhomogeneity. In addition, a rotary echo spin-lock pulse was used in a two-dimensional fast field-echo sequence for the acquisition of T1ρ–weighted data, with a spin-lock frequency of 1,000 Hz at spin-lock times (SLTs) of 0, 10, 20, 40, and 60 ms. The other imaging parameters were as follows: repetition time ms/echo time, 4.3/2.2 ms; flip angle, 10°; number of signals acquired, 1; specific absorption rate, < 0.7 W/kg; field of view, 360 mm; section thickness, 10 mm; acquisition matrix, 2.25 mm × 2.23 mm; and reconstruction matrix, 1.41 mm × 1.41 mm. A total of 11 images were acquired per patient, which enabled coverage of the whole liver in 1 min and 30 s for each SLT. This resulted in a total acquisition time of approximately 12 min (depending on each individual’s respiratory frequency). Supplementary Fig. 1 shows the sample images.

Retrospective Cardiac MRI for Surgical Planning

We conducted a retrospective study at Children’s Medical Center and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas from November 2017 to February 2019. Clinically indicated comprehensive CMR studies were performed for patients with prior congenital heart surgery on a 1.5 T scanner (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) using a 32-channel torso coil as part of a pre-surgical evaluation. Included in the standard CMR protocol were breath-hold (BH) cine imaging of the ventricular short axis (SAx) and the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in a sagittal-oblique orientation. In addition to the standard CMR sequences, a RTC sequence was used. All patients underwent redo sternotomies for indicated cardiac surgeries subsequently and the presence of significant retrosternal adhesions were noted. The study was approved by the local ethics committee (IRB STU 032016–009) for retrospective analysis of CMR and clinical data.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
