  • Abstract
    In order to obtain high resolution image of vessel wall of carotid artery, an 8-channel carotid coil is fabricated for 3T magnetic resonance imaging in this study. The phantom experiments and in-vivo studies are implemented in order to validate the performance of the fabricated 8-channel carotid coil. The high resolution images are obtained with the fabricated 8-channel carotid coil in clinical examination for in vivo experiment, showing its potential for the clinical diagnosis.
