Phased array RF coil for magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract:
A phased array radio-frequency (RF) coil includes a cylindrical frame including a coaxial inner frame and a coaxial outer frame having different diameters; and vertical loop coils arranged in a circumferential direction of the cylindrical frame. Each vertical loop coil includes an inner conductor extending in a lengthwise direction on the coaxial inner frame; an outer conductor extending in a lengthwise direction on the coaxial outer frame and facing the inner conductor; and a first resonant frequency adjustment capacitor for connecting one end of the inner conductor in the lengthwise direction and one end of the outer conductor in the lengthwise direction so that the phased array RF coil resonates at an MR operating frequency.
