Summary
A deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) setup will be constructed for body applications at 7T. This encompasses the construction of a deuterium RF body coil to generate a B1 field at the deuterium frequency, the construction of deuterium receive arrays with integrated dipole hydrogen transceivers for sensitive deuterium signal detection and conventional proton MRI, respectively, and adaptation and installation of a 1T RF amplifier for 7T DMI usability.
