A prototype of an eight-channel transmit array which can
be inserted into a commercial 3T system above the
patient bed and used with commercial receive-only arrays
was designed and implemented based on our previous
studies. This design benefits from the signal-to-noise
ratio offered by the commercial receive-only array and
restricts the geometry and placement of the array
elements. Here, we report progress on this prototype,
including its implementation, preliminary shimming
result on phantom, and its very first in vivo images.
