To minimize known coil losses at higher field strengths, we developed a conservatively-sized volume stripline/TEM array for body imaging at 7T. Active PIN diode detuning allows it to be used in conjunction with local receive-only arrays. This TEM array is also a clamshell design, allowing it be either used as a whole- or half-volume array.
