Abstract
RF coils for functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy at ultra-high field strength must be designed with high SNR, high transmit efficiency and optimized to guarantee SAR safety. With numerical EM simulations we compared two possible 4 channel RF coil setups for the application in the human visual cortex. It turned out that overlapping loop elements can provide 12.5 more B1+ /√SAR(10g) than without overlap for this particular case. Based on the simulation we have constructed a tight fit 4-channel transceiver head phased array. We could reach a B1+ of 63 µT in a 12.4x12.4 mm² sized voxel in the visual cortex region in a human head-and-shoulder phantom.
