While most work with high permittivity materials (HPMs) in MRI has been focused on improving SNR or transmit efficiency for a relatively small region within a much larger coil or array, more recent work demonstrates that HPMs can also improve performance of smaller coils very near the subject, as well as arrays of such coils for the entire region of the anatomy they encompass. Here we illustrate differences in the nature of coil functionality when HPMs are present with graphical plots and analysis of both conduction currents and displacement currents.
