Abstract :
This paper presents a specific instrumentation for High Resolution Imaging at 0.1 Tesla. The new system includes a surface high strength magnetic field gradient, a Radio-Frequency coil cooled by liquid Nitrogen, and the signal reception system. The original geometry of the high resolution module allows us to image the human whole-body surface. First high resolution images of the skin, eyes and wrist are obtained on a short time with a fast imaging sequence and the specific high resolution system.
