Multichannel transceiver coil arrays are needed to enable parallel imaging and B1 manipulation in ultrahigh field MR imaging and spectroscopy. However, the design of such transceiver coils and coil arrays often faces technical challenges in achieving the required high operating frequency at the ultrahigh fields and sufficient electromagnetic (EM) decoupling between resonant elements. In this work, we propose a high impedance microstrip transmission line resonator (HIMTL) technique that has unique high frequency capability and adequate EM decoupling without the use of dedicated decoupling circuits. To validate the proposed technique for the ultrahigh field 10.5T applications, a two-channel high impedance microstrip array with the element dimension of 8cm by 8cm was built and tuned to 447 MHz, Larmor frequency of proton at 10.5T, for signal excitation and reception. Bench tests and numerical simulations were performed to evaluate its feasibility and performance. The results show that the proposed high impedance microstrip technique can be a simple and robust way to design high frequency transceiver coils and coil arrays for ultrahigh field MR applications.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
