mr-recv-coil-match-networks

Description

This repository implements calculations for MRI receive coil matching networks. These matching networks provide noise matching, preamplifier decoupling and common-mode rejection.

Installation

To install the Python package (required for using the Jupyter notebook), run python3 -m pip install mr-recv-coil-match-networks. Alternatively, run pip install . in the root directory of this repository.

To use the Jupyter notebook, the requirements at https://lcapy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html must also be installed.

Usage

This repository can be used interactively through the mr_recv_coil_match_networks.ipynb Jupyter notebook.

This repository also implements a Python package mr_recv_coil_match_networks, which can be used to interact with the matching networks programmatically.

Derivations

Notebooks relating to the derivation procedure for the baluns are located in the derivations directory.
