Synopsis

Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, RF Arrays & Systems, Clip-path, Transceiver Array, Decoupling, MRIWe propose new geometrical decoupling method using clip-path conductor (CPC) to reduce the mutual coupling between individual elements in RF coil array. The 8-element CPC transceiver array was constructed based on electromagnetic (EM) simulation and applied to whole brain imaging at 7T.
