Individual coils were single-tuned with this decoupling network and stacked to enable a switched triple-tuned coil.

Narrowband trapped coils showed drops in SNR when combined with other coils, presumably due to coupling between receiver elements tuned to different frequencies. This broadband decoupling behavior was shown to be independent of positioning through coils oriented to be nearly perfectly geometrically coupled and the addition of a three-element array of the same size. This configuration was validated on a post-mortem pig to verify the losses of the network did not prohibit its use for preclinical imaging and spectroscopy applications.

In this study, a tailored metasurface design is demonstrated to improve implant safety at 7 T by shielding the local B<sub>1</sub><sup>+</sup> field. A prototype metasurface was designed and implemented with a unit cell size of 15 mm using discrete capacitors of 30 pF values.

With the metasurface, an average maximum temperature decrease of 0.50 °C or 34.9 % near the implant was observed. RF field simulations yielded similar decreases in SAR for the phantom (40.7 %) and substantial decreases for the in-vivo leg model (97 %).
