At vert high field strengths multi-element RF transmit coils have been shown to benefit applications such as RF shimming and parallel transmission. In this work we present a 24 element TEM volume coil strategy that is as RF efficient as a traditional TEM volume coil. Simulation studies are performed at 7 T.
