In this study, we conducted electromagnetic simulation of a surface loop coil to quantify the B1+ transmit efficiency of five nuclei ( 1H, 31P, 23Na, 2H and 17O) from 1.5T to 21 T field strength. The simulation is validated by FID measurements. Furthermore, we investigated the loading effect on the RF coil B1+ transmit efficiency and its dependence on B0. Our study shows the X-nuclei flip angle can be reached using the same or even less coil driving voltage as for proton, thus, significantly reducing the required RF power and SAR concern.
