In this work, calculated eigenmodes of a 20-channel
array coil (Tic-Tac-Toe based) were used to optimize B1+
field. An exhaustive search was used to go through all
possible eigenmodes combinations. Field uniformity,
field efficiency and SAR are used to evaluate the
optimized cases. Multi-level/row coil with eigenmode
optimization methods could facilitate fields uniformity
in the entire brain including the cerebellum region.
High quality 3D MPRAGE could be acquired.
