At 7T the combination of loops and electric dipole
antennas can provide higher central SNR in a body sized
object than is possible with loop coils alone. An array
of dipoles has been demonstrated for head imaging, and
was shown to provide extended coverage in z compared to
a standard birdcage, but suffered from low central SNR
compared to loop-based coils. We investigate the
addition of a loop array to the previously constructed
dipole array. The dipole array is used for transmit and
receive to explore the benefits of combining loops and
dipoles for increased SNR in 7T head imaging.
