The use of high‐permittivity materials has been shown to be an effective method for increasing
transmit and receive sensitivity in areas of low‐signal intensity in the brain at high field. …

High permittivity “dielectric pads” have been shown to increase image quality at high magnetic
fields in regions of low radiofrequency transmit efficiency. This article presents a series of …

The prevention of acute rheumatic fever by the prompt treatment of streptococcic infections
with penicillin has been attempted in this study. The results obtained show that this attempt …

Purpose To improve image quality and reduce specific absorption rate in functional cardiac
imaging at 3 T. Methods Two high permittivity dielectric pads on the anterior and posterior …

The prevention of acute rheumatic fever by penicillin therapy of acute streptococcal respiratory
infections was attempted in this study. Procaine penicillin G in oil containing 2 per cent …

Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of dielectric pads for improving
high spatial resolution imaging of the inner ear at 7 T. Materials and Methods Two sets of …

The appearance of severe signal drop‐outs in abdominal imaging at 3 T arises primarily from
areas of very low B transmit field in the body, and is problematic in both obese as well as …

Improvements are proposed for practical design and use of high permittivity materials in high
field neuroimaging in three different areas: (i) a simple formula to predict the permittivity of tri…

… illustrated in Figure 6, which shows that moderate differences can have quite dramatic effects
on the spatial distribution of the RF field: simulations were performed as described in Brink …
