Visualization and characterization of pure and coupled modes in water-based dielectric resonators on a human 7T scanner

Abstract

MRI represents a unique method to visualize directly different resonant modes of arbitrarily-shaped dielectric resonators in the radiofrequency spectrum via construction of resonators filled with distilled, deionized water which has a low conductivity and high relative permittivity. The required dimensions, particularly for higher order modes, are large and so a high field whole-body MRI system is needed to visualize these modes. In this study, using a simple cylindrical geometry, many higher order modes were identified and confirmed using electromagnetic simulations. In addition, coupled modes between more than one resonator were investigated, with possible future applications including direct visualization of fields in metamaterials.

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.
