Abstract

Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) requires very sensitive magnetometers for detection of weak magnetic signals in femtoTesla range. Magnetoresistive mixed sensors could be used as the sensitive magnetometers [1]. These sensors are the combination of a Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) field sensor and a superconducting loop used as a flux-to-field transformer. A MRI set-up based on mixed sensor has been mounted. This system operates in static field up to 10mT without shielded room. We will present the LF-MRI setup with the implementation of mixed sensors and the first MRI images obtained at low field without prepolarization.
