Originally proposed as a method to increase sensitivity by extending the locally high-
sensitivity of small surface coil elements to larger areas via reception, the term parallel …

This paper reviews the field of multiple or parallel radiofrequency (RF) transmission for
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Currently the use of ultra-high field (UHF) MRI at 7 tesla …

The basic principles of radiofrequency coil array design for parallel MRI are described from
both theoretical and practical perspectives. Because parallel MRI techniques rely on coil …

A novel geometrically adjustable transceiver array system is presented. A key feature of the
geometrically adjustable array was the introduction of decoupling capacitors that allow for …

In parallel imaging, the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) of sensitivity encoding (SENSE)
reconstruction is usually degraded by the ill‐conditioning problem, which becomes …

Abstract Background Quadrature surface MRI/MRS detectors comprised of circular loop and
figure-8 or butterfly-shaped coils offer improved signal-to-noise-ratios (SNR) compared to …

The major radiofrequency engineering challenges of high‐field MR neuroimaging are as
follows:(1) to produce a strong, homogeneous transmit B1 field, while remaining within …

A flexible transceiver array, capable of multiple‐purpose imaging applications in vivo at
ultrahigh magnetic fields was designed, implemented and tested on a 7 T MR scanner. By …

An eight‐rung, 3T degenerate birdcage coil (DBC) was constructed and evaluated for
accelerated parallel excitation of the head with eight independent excitation channels. Two …

By independent control of the phases and amplitudes of its elements, the microstrip
transmission-line array can mitigate sample-induced RF non-uniformities, and has been …
