Abstract
This paper reports on a micro planar coil as a receiver for a high resolution MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). In this study, a micro planar coil of 10 mm in diameter was fabricated. The MRI signal receiving device was made by attaching the micro coils to the tip of acrylic pipes. The signal to noise ratio of MR image taken by the micro planar coil was 8 times as high as MR image taken by medical MRI coil. MR images of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) were acquired with 2.0×2.0×2.0 mm^3 and 0.5×0.5×1.0 mm^3 resolutions.
