Images within existing stents are distorted by field perturbations of the stent itself.
–
Develop/determine stent coatings to enable internal imaging.
•

Stent Project Goals
•
Problem: Electrically conductive stents have induced eddy currents which obscure an MRI image.
•
Solution: Apply post- manufacturing processes to
correct magnetic fields.•
Maxwell critical in comparing configurations and determining component values.
Induced current paths

Stent Project Objectives
•
Develop a simple physical model of a stent. •
Develop equivalent circuit models including RF, stent, and coatings.
•
Develop implementations of distributed magnetic and electric elements to phase shift currents.
•
Correct the stent internal field perturbations.

Stent imaging in MRI
![Page 8: Innovative Transformers and Resonant Inductors and Capacitorsengineeringmatters.com/Transformers_Inductors... · Variable Frequency • Efficiency = 97.4% • Size = 1.5 m3 • Mass](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040409/5ec59132a53b1d66b2464345/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

MRI RF (64MHz) Field
•
Main field = 1.5T•
f = 1.5T * 42.576 MHz/T = 63.8MHz.
•
RF Field: H = Hx
x + Hy
y + Hz
z, |H|~24A/m, B~30μT•
Induced RF stent currents: J = Jθ
θ
+ Jz
z.•
Skin Depth: The skin depth is defined as: δ=sqrt(η/πμf).
•
Nitinol skin depth is δ
= 0.06mm; RF fully penetrates each strut.
•
Blood solution (η=0.2 Ohm-m), the skin depth is δ
= 28mm. So blood does shield the RF field and body size makes a difference.

Intuition Needed
•
Basic idea: Create a structure which will correct the magnetic field from the stent itself.
