Abstract

For patient safety in human 1H decoupled 13C-MRS, it is absolutely necessary to evaluate the specific RF absorption rate (SAR) of the tissue exposed to 1H frequency irradiation. With the use of surface coils, the local SAR at the body surface is of most concern due to the inherent RF field inhomogeneity. An empirical procedure to spatially calibrate the decoupler power level and to evaluate the local SAR at the body surface is described. For head, liver, muscle gastrocnemius, and muscle vastus lateralis, the SAR at the body surface was estimated for an 1H/13C double surface coil setup. Optimized duty cycle values obtained with this procedure show that broad-band 1H-decoupled 13C-MR spectroscopy is clinically feasible at 1.5 T for such a coil configuration within safety guidelines.

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.
