Radio Frequency Laboratory of the Wald Group at MGH

This page contains resources for RF coil design, fabrication, and testing related to the work conducted in the RF Lab of Dr. Lawrence Wald's group at the A. A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.

NEW (July 2016): MATLAB code is now available with multi-coil shim array helmet-style wire patterns and a constrained optimization script for finding optimal shim currents for B0 shimming of the brain. Please see the Multi-coil B0 shimming section below.

This page is under construction -- thank you for your patience as we upload materials...
