It is capable to produce transmit fields in the human brain of more than 50 µT when exploiting the RF peak power design limits (5kW). This high B1+ efficiency is necessary either for single voxel spectroscopy to reduce chemical shift artifacts or for pTx based feature selective excitation methods. The shielded decoupled loop array coil fits into B0 shim inserts and enables accommodation of optical stimulation equipment. ## RF coil specifications - 8-channel transmit/receive - f=298MHz -- outer dimensions: XX x XX x XXcm -- inner dimensions: XXcm -- bla bla -- B1+ efficiency: XX +- outer RF shield dimensions: outer diameter 340mm, Length 396 mm +- inner dimensions: Anterior-Posterior distance 250mm, Left-Right distance 215mm +- B1+ efficiency: 50 \muT @ 5kW peak ## Contacts General contact: Name | Email | Institution | Applications -----|-----|-----|-----| -Frank Seifert | frank.seifert@ptb.de | Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Berlin, Germany | parallel transmission imaging techniques, implant safety measurements - - -## Contributors +Frank Seifert | frank.seifert@ptb.de | Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Berlin, Germany | parallel transmission techniques, implant and MR safety +Lukas Winter | lukas.winter@ptb.de | Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Berlin, Germany | parallel transmission techniques, implant and MR safety +## Contributors (alphabetical order) +Bernd Ittermann, Ralf Mekle, Harald Pfeiffer, Frank Seifert, Patrick Waxmann, Lukas Winter ## Publications If you find this useful in your work, please cite: -XXX +Seifert F., Pfeiffer H., Mekle R., Waxmann P., Ittermann B., "7T 8-channel pTx Head Coil with High B1+ Efficience Optimized for MRS", ISMRM 2016, #3545 ## Acknowledgment - +This work was funded by European Metrology Research Program (EMRP) grant HLT06.
