Abstract
Ultra-high field (>7T) RF coil design is challenging due to decreased transmit efficiency and strongly distorted B1 field profile. For functional SI of the visual cortex open RF coils are highly suitable since they provide an easy access and increased transmit efficiency by focusing RF field. In this work we demonstrated that a 9.4T 5-channel array with asymmetric arrangement of 4 transmit and 4 receive elements improves the transmit profile without compromising the reception. We also evaluated changes in the transmit efficiency, penetration depth and SAR due to variation in the array size and the phase shift between the elements.
