In traveling wave MRI, propagating RF fields are excited
through an antenna located at a distance to a given
sample such that excitation and detection in MRI can be
induced in the far field [1-3]. In this project,
traveling wave MRI at ultra-high field is implemented
using a concentric waveguide composed of a dielectric
filled inner cylinder and an outer copper cylinder with
dimensions similar to the magnet bore of a vertical 21.1
T ultra-wide bore magnet. Uniquely, this waveguide is
excited by coaxial inputs at single and multiple points.
