Abstract(in English) In order to recognize the perivascular space perfusion, we need a method for combined evaluation of MRI and flurescence microsopy to evaluate perivascular high-resolution images and functional images. For this purpose, we thought to improve the signal-to-noise ratio by using microcoil of MRI. By using a micro transmitting/receiving coil, the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved in MRI. Theoretically, by reducing the diameter to 1/20, the signal to noise ratio can be improved by nearly 90 times. Although our microcoil with a 2mm diameter obtained a higher signal-to-noise ratio as expected, sufficient high resolutional imaging could not be confirmed. It was suggested that hardware other than the microcoil also needs to be improved.
