Abstract:In this work, we present a study on the effects of the non-symmetric electrical design of radiofrequency (RF) coils for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) operating at ultra-high frequency (UHF). A typical loop coil used in MRI consists of symmetrically distributed capacitors along the coil; this design is able to produce uniform current distributions inside the coil. However, in UHF conditions, the magnetic flux density (|B1|) field produced by this setup may exhibit field distortion, requiring a method of cont… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
