Magnetic resonance coil prototyping and implementation for multi-nuclear small animal imaging.
Article in Journal of magnetic resonance open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Heteronuclear MR imaging allows investigation into unique disease states. These approaches often require radiofrequency coil designs that are customized for the imaging probe and target. This study addresses the challenges of rapidly prototyping heteronuclear MR coils for small animal imaging applications. We propose the use of 3D-printing molds for inductor shaping connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) via a flexible coaxial cabling to enhance coil reproducibility and utility. Methods: A rapid prototyping pipeline was developed for constructing affordable and sensitive coils. The reproducibility of 3D-printed mold inductors was compared to hand-turned and PCB inductors. A theoretical treatment of the effect of PCB/inductor coupling on tuning/matching conditions was verified under a variety of practical conditions, yielding a simplified approach which allows component selection and assembly with minimal empirical development. Results: The 3D-printed mold inductors demonstrated higher reproducibility than hand-turned inductors, and PCB RF coils demonstrated the highest reproducibility. The average resonance return loss (S Conclusion: The developed prototyping pipeline represents a rapid and effective approach for designing highly reproducible coils with a desired resonance frequency and size that can easily be adapted for a variety of experimental set-ups. All design resources - including an interactive coil-parameter calculator, 3D-models of inductor molds, and PCB files - are available for use at https://medcap.ai/mr-coil-calculator.
