Design and Simulation of a Double Tuned RF Coil for 1H and 31P MR imaging at 7T.

Abstract

The research on the performance of ultra-high magnetic field radio frequency (RF) coils is one of the main aspects in the research of ultrahigh field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)system. In this paper, a 1H/31P dual-tuned multi-channel RF coil for the ultrahigh magnetic field 7T MRI was proposed. The performance of the proposed coil is evaluated by using numerical co-simulation approach. The result demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed double-tuned RF coil in the applications of 1H/31P ultrahigh magnetic field.
