Due to the severe problems with B1 inhomogeneity, volume resonators are not a good choice for body applications at ultra-high fields, and local multi-channel arrays are commonly used for transmission. In this work we present an integrated 32ch transmit/receive body array for 7 Tesla whole-body imaging. First in vivo images show a human volunteer imaged completely in 4 stations.
