Some MR systems do not provide an active decoupling bias
signal to RX coil and use only passive and/or
geometrical decoupling. An external circuit which
independently generates an active decoupling signal for
RX coils for any MR system was developed. The circuit
was tested on a 0.2T system with no active decoupling,
and at 3T to demonstrate its interest when an additional
dedicated RX coil is designed and its connection is
unknown or third part coil is not allowed. Results were
considered at both fields and were comparable to
reference decoupling methods, in terms of delays, SNR
and B1 uniformity.
