This work investigates the feasibility of incorporating an additional RF element to the rotating RF coil (RRFC) to improve imaging performance. The transmit profiles of the two-element rotating coil array were optimised by adjusting the interference patterns formed by two channels with varied relative phase. Combined with the previously developed rotating imaging scheme, an optimal relative phase was determined to produce an image uniformity of 93%.
