Synopsis

Keywords: High-Field MRI, RF Arrays & SystemsWireless dedicated radiofrequency coils have recently proven to be a good alternative to conventional cable-connected coils due to compatibility with the scanners of different vendors. Due to significant increase of B1+ with respect to body coil manual calibration procedure needed often for operation of wireless coils.The goal of this work is to develop the first Rx-only wireless coil for dedicated breast MRI to overcome the aforementioned drawback. For that the passive detuning structure inserted to wireless Helmholtz resonator was designed and studied.
