Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo deste projeto é o desenvolvimento de transdutores de RF tipo gaiola (birdcage coil) e sela (saddle coil), com desenho especial inovador, que mantém elementos com comprimento elétrico constante, para um campo magnético de 2 Tesla. Este transdutor deve permitir o estudo e também o desenvolvimento de novas metodologias em imagens e espectroscopia por RMN de pequenos primatas como marmosets, exigidos pela interação deste grupo com o programa CInAPCe (Cooperação Interinstitucional de Apoio a Pesquisas sobre o Cérebro). Essas bobinas também se destinam ao uso em metodologias de imagens e espectroscopia ?in vivo? por Ressonância Magnética Nuclear (RMN), que utilizem pulsos de RF caracterizados como Pulsos Adiabáticos. Outra perspectiva é a continuação do desenvolvimento de bobinas de RF que operam segundo as características de bobinas de superfície, que pode resultar deste trabalho. Os resultados nos mostram que para as dimensões e freqüência utilizadas, a interação entre os condutores que compõe os transdutores é mais relevante do que a perda de fase da corrente elétrica devido às diferenças no comprimento elétrico. O cruzamento entre os condutores consiste num bom desenho alternativo, melhorando a homogeneidade de campo de RF e a relação sinal/ruído.

Abstract in English
The purpose of the present work is the development of birdcage- and saddlelike RF transducers which were based on a special and innovative approach. The aim of this design is to keep constant the electromagnetic length of its elements, for a magnetic field intensity of 2 Tesla. These resonators will allow both the study and the development of new imaging and spectroscopy methods addressed to the NMR research on small primates such as marmosets. Such studies are part of the cooperation between this group and other participants of the CInAPCe program, Portuguese acronym for Inter-institutional Cooperation to Support Brain Research. Other perspective is the continuing development of RF coils whose characteristics are similar to surface coils, also designed for anatomic specific studies of imaging and in vivo NMR spectroscopy that take advantage from the use of RF pulses characterized as Adiabatic Pulses. From the results it could be verified that, for the frequency and dimensions used, the interaction between the conductive paths present in the transducers is more significant than the electric current phase losses due to differences in electric path. The crossing of the conductive paths constitute a good alternative design, improving the RF field homogeneity and the signal to noise ratio.
