We integrated a permittivity-tunable ultrahigh dielectric constant (uHDC) disk with copper film shielding (for tuning) and a pick-up coil (for matching) for performing 17O MRS imaging (MRSI) at 10.5T. We conducted a phantom 17O imaging study to compare the coil performance and signal-to-noise ratio between the newly designed uHDC resonator with a surface loop coil of the same diameter as the disk. The results indicate a better performance of the uHDC resonator at the room temperature(21 Co), and a much better performance when the ceramic disk temperature was cooling to 16 Co, owing to a large denoising effect.
