University of Technology Eindhoven, Eindhoven, Netherlands
Impact: The coax monopole antenna would be an excellent candidate for transmit head coil arrays at 14T MRI, due to its high SAR efficiency and low coupling. Additionally, its single-ended design facilitates cable routing, particularly in a spatially restricted environment. 
 
Computer Number: 122
4389. On the Reproducibility of Direct Signal Control with Variable Excitation and Refocusing (DiSCoVER) for TSE Shoulder MRI at 7T
