This new study explores the feasibility of using a
single-channel mechanically Rotating RF Coil (RRFC) for
flip angle (FA) and specific absorption rate (SAR)
management applications at 7T MRI. Compared to the
8-channel Parallel Coil Array, RRFC yielded a much more
uniform FA distribution and a lower SAR. This initial
study suggests that RRFC may be very useful in
alleviating the FA and SAR issues associated with
contemporary high field MRI.
