G. McKinnon, E. Boskamp GE Medical Systems, Waukesha, WI, United States Introduction Numerical simulations were used in an attempt to find the optimal configuration for a 7T head coil. The high-pass birdcage, the hybrid birdcage, and the TEM resonator were compared. The coil dimensions were kept as similar as possible. Performance was evaluated on the basis of normalized peak E field, SNR and B...

Introduction: Ultra-high field transceiver coil array holds many advantages and unique capabilities over the conventional non-array volume transceiver coils such as B1 shimming/manipulating and parallel excitation for human studies. The transceiver array can be either an array of loops or an array of straight microstrip elements [1-3]. Usually the mutual coupling in such arrays is minimized by ...
