This
abstract provides a detailed understanding for loop coil resistance, a
crucial component of SNR in the MR experiment. In comparison to existing
models, the new model presented in this abstract includes more components
which were often overlooked in the past and thus yields more realistic
prediction of coil resistance at high field. The ability to characterize coil
losses is the key for optimizing loop-based coil and array designs, and
providing an accurate coil noise model in full-wave simulations.
