Abstract

The present invention provides systems for the evaluation of the urethra and periurethral tissues using an MRI coil adapted for insertion into the male, female or paediatric urethra. The MRI coil may be in electrical communication with an interface circuit made up of a tuning-matching circuit, a decoupling circuit and a balun circuit. The interface circuit may also be in electrical communication with a MRI machine
