Description:

Recently , there is a growing interest in applying electronic circuit design for
biomedical applications , especially in the area of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR ) .
NMR has been used for many years as a spectroscopy technique for analytical chem -
istry . Previous studies have demonstrated the design and fabrication of planar spiral
inductors (microcoils ) that serve as detectors for nuclear magnetic resonance mi -
crospectroscopy .
The goal of this research was to analyze , design , and test a prototype integrated
sensor , which consisted of a similar microcoil detector with analog components to
form a multiple -channel front -end for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ) system to
perform microspectroscopy . The research has succeeded in producing good function -
ality for a multiple -channel sensor . The sensor met expectations compared to similar
one -channel systems through experiments in channel separation and good signal -to -
noise ratios . |
