We demonstrate for the first-time a quadrature transceive wireless coil that
improves body coil transmit efficiency, SAR efficiency, and receive performance
for the targeted area of the human breast.
FIGURE
1: Numerical setups: the voxel model placed inside the body
birdcage coil with M-coil (a), H-coil (b), and MH-coil (c) placed around the
breast.
FIGURE
3: Numerically calculated B1+ (a–c) and SARav.10g
(d–f) maps for the voxel model placed inside the birdcage coil without (a,d)
and with the MH-coil. The root mean square |B1+|
value was calculated for the breast volume.
(d-f) SARav.10g distributions are plotted through the local SAR maximum
plane. The white circles indicate local SARav.10g maxima.
