This abstract describes the development of a separate transmit/receive setup of coils for human chest 129Xe MRI at 1.5T. The transmit coil is an asymmetrical birdcage type designed to fit the scanner bore. The lumped components are calculated in consideration of the mutual coupling with the 1H body coil of the scanner, enabling the scanning of anatomical images and localization with the birdcage inside the bore. Furthermore, a parallel imaging strategy for 129Xe ventilation imaging has been tested to demonstrate accelerated acquisition times.
