Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive, low-risk imaging method that nevertheless requires some precautions. The conditions that allow a safe examination restrict the access to some implant carriers, and some applications, such as endoluminal imaging. The radiofrequency magnetic field can interact with conducting elements (as the cables connecting receive coils) and augment locally the energy absorbed by the patient’s tissues. Endoluminal imaging could however improve the medical care of colorectal cancer patients, through accurate analysis of the colon walls. In this context, the main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the feasibility of converting and transmitting optically the NMR signal to replace coaxial cables. The electro-...
