Synopsis

Keywords: High-Field MRI, High-Field MRI, Small-Sample Imaging

Motivation: Investigate potential uses for solenoidal dipoles, such as in human finger imaging.

Goal(s): The purpose is to evaluate how well the solenoidal dipole works for imaging the finger.

Approach: Comparison to alternative coil configurations for finger imaging.

Results: Evaluate the inter-element coupling, Q-factor, H-field, E-field efficiency, and SNR of the solenoidal dipole in relation to the solenoid coil and LC loop.

Impact: The proposed solenoidal dipole design, despite less efficient H-fields, holds substantial potential for ultra-high-field MRI. It reduces crosstalk, enhances SNR distribution, and improves field homogeneity, making it a promising choice for high-resolution imaging of small samples.
