Slobozhanyuk, Alexey P.Poddubny, Alexander N.Belov, Pavel A.Kivshar, Yuri2017-04-04978-1-5090-2886-31947-1491http://hdl.handle.net/1885/114389We reveal that the unique properties of ultrathin metasurface resonators can improve dramatically magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We place a metasurface formed by an array of metallic wires inside a scanner under the studied object and achieve a substantial enhancement of the radiofrequency magnetic field by means of subwavelength near-field manipulation with metasurface, also allowing to improve scanner sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and image resolution.This work was supported by Russian Science Foundation (Project No. 15-19-20054) and the Australian Research Council.application/pdf© 2016 IEEEmetasurfacesMRImetamaterialssignal-to-noise ratio2016-0710.1109/APS.2016.7695896
