A water-based dielectric resonator operating in the
quadrature HEM mode has been designed and constructed
for imaging the human knee at 7 Tesla. The continuous
current distribution throughout the resonator results in
an extremely simple design of a water-filled annulus
connected to the scanner through two impedance matching
networks. High resolution images of the knee at
sub-millimeter resolution have been acquired in less
than 4 minutes using this resonator.
