Body shim coil array (16 shim elements) for 3T MRI scanners mountable on Siemens body 18 flex* RF coils.
CAUTION: Not a medical device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.
The Dia 3T is a shim coil array for body imaging that is specifically designed to be mounted on the Siemens 3T body 18 flex* RF coil. The shim coil array has 16 shim elements.
The shim coil has four modules for ease-of-installation and easy detachment. Each module is thin (~25mm) and light-weight (~0.5kg). Two of the modules are attached directly to the patient bed (underneath the patient) and the other two modules are strapped onto the body RF coil. The shim coil array is optimised to have minimal impact on the RF coil performance. The shim elements are also optimised to minimise induced e.m.f. and eddy currents while maximising efficiency.
