Jeff Chen, Monash Children’s Hospital MRI Supervisor, breaks down the technology to take on B1 homogeneity or the dielectric effect in foetal MRI. Innovative new solutions that can tackle the black band artifact, SAR and signal loss commonly associated with foetal MR are changing the imaging game.
Similar to fishing, foetal MRI is possible but just takes a little bit of patience.
