Maximizing Diagnostic Fidelity in MRI: An Integrated Wearable Coil with Real-Time Motion Tracking

This project develops a wearable MRI RF coil designed to improve image quality and reduce motion-related artifacts during imaging. The technology combines a flexible coaxial braid coil architecture that conforms closely to patient anatomy with integrated motion-tracking markers that enable real-time motion compensation during MRI acquisition. The follow-on award will support optimization and validation of this high-sensitivity imaging platform for ultra-high-field MRI applications.
