The purpose of the study was to build dedicated surface coils for the temporal and the frontal lobes of the human brain at 7T. Their transmit field efficiency and single-voxel spectroscopy performances were compared with a birdcage coil with a dielectric pad. An increased B₁⁺-field for the brain regions was measured with the surface coils compared to the birdcage with the pad, which allows single-voxel SPECIAL spectroscopy and anatomical image acquisitions in the peripheral temporal and frontal lobes.
