A novel receive-only liquid nitrogen (LN2)-cooled RF coil for high-resolution in vivo imaging on a 3-Tesla whole-body scanner (2012)
Journal Article
Hu, B., Varma, G., Randell, C., Keevil, S. F., Schaeffter, T., & Glover, P. (2012). A novel receive-only liquid nitrogen (LN2)-cooled RF coil for high-resolution in vivo imaging on a 3-Tesla whole-body scanner. IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 61(1), https://doi.org/10.1109/TIM.2011.2157575

The design and operation of a receive-only liquid nitrogen (LN2)-cooled coil and cryostat suitable for medical imaging on a 3-T whole-body magnetic resonance scanner is presented. The coil size, optimized for murine imaging, was determined by using...

Magnetic field effects on the vestibular system: calculation of the pressure on the cupula due to ionic current-induced Lorentz force (2012)
Journal Article
Antunes, A., Glover, P., Li, Y., Mian, O., & Day, B. (2012). Magnetic field effects on the vestibular system: calculation of the pressure on the cupula due to ionic current-induced Lorentz force. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 57(14), https://doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/57/14/4477

Large static magnetic fields may be employed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At high magnetic field strengths (usually from about 3 tesla and above) it is possible for humans to perceive a number of effects. One such effect is mild vertigo. Rece...

Interaction of MRI field gradients with the human body (2009)
Journal Article
Glover, P. (2009). Interaction of MRI field gradients with the human body. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 54(21), Article R99-R115. https://doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/54/21/R01

In this review, the effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields encountered specifically during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are examined. The primary biological effect at frequencies of between 100 and 5000 Hz (typical of MRI magnetic field... Read More about Interaction of MRI field gradients with the human body.
