Birdcage coils are the most commonly used-volume coils
in MRI for their ability to provide homogeneous
circularly polarized fields inside their volume with a
quadrature channel excitation. One of the most used
tools by RF coils designers is BirdcageBuilder, a
software which provides the values of the capacitors
needed to make the coil able to resonate. In this work
we extend the functionality and portability of the
software by designing a version which can run on common
mobile devices for easy access anywhere coils are
constructed, and provide all resonant frequencies of the
coil as designed.
