Zusammenfassung:
Surface loop phased arrays have been shown to improve transmit performance and B1 homogeneity for head imaging up to 9.4T. However, transmit arrays enlarged to fit receive arrays often cannot satisfy the requirements in B1 and bandwidth for ultra-high field spectroscopic imaging. We have developed and constructed a tight fit 400MHz 8-channel transceiver array. The array improved transmit efficiency and homogeneity in the axial slab through the phantom’s center when used in CP mode. B1+ averaged over the central axial slice measured 55.6 nT/V, which corresponds to 12.4 uT per 1 kW of RF power delivered directly to the array.
