Abstract

The construction of two novel mult-segment (MS) resonators are described. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and B1 homogeneity of the coils are compared with that of a surface coil and a standard quadrature head coil. The images obtained with the MS designs revealed a surface coil-like fall-off in signal with depth. The SNR offered by MS coils was found to be better than the head coil at depths less than approximately 6 cm. Bilateral motor cortex activation on normal subjects performing finger tapping tasks is demonstrated.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
