The new optical magnetic-field sensor, which is being developed at DRCMR in collaboration with the Niels Bohr Institute, has attracted broad attention following the latest publication, which describes the technology and the applications in MRI.
Hans Stærkind and his colleagues show that the sensor can measure the magnetic field in our 7 T MRI scanner very accurately and detect small field imperfections. The sensor contains no metallic parts, and therefore does not disturb the MRI scanner in any way. Current and future work aim at using such measurements to improve the MR image quality.
