In this study, we propose an alternative to reduce the higher electric fields produced on the small capacitor attached to the self-decoupled coil. We were able to reduce the electric fields and possible SAR in the region by using high dielectric constant sheet.
Fig.1. Simulation model showing the surface coil with the placement of the capacitors, feedline, and the dielectric sheet over the Cmode capacitor.
Fig.3. Electric fields produced on the surface of the coil where the dielectric sheet is placed on the Cmode capacitor. The Feedline/Power source used is the function of the simulation software used and not the part of the RF coil in practice. Hence, The unusual increase in the electric field around the feed line can be neglected.
