Abstract

Radio-frequency current density imaging (RF-CDI) is an imaging technique that noninvasively measures current density distribution at the Larmor frequency utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Previously implemented RF-CDI techniques were only able to image a single slice transverse to the static magnetic field B(0) . This paper describes the first realization of a multislice RF-CDI sequence on a 1.5 T clinical imager. Multislice RF current density images have been reconstructed for two phantoms. The influence of MRI random noise on the sensitivity of the multislice RF-CDI measurement has also been studied by theoretical analysis, simulation and phantom experiments.
