(a) Eight-channel transmit/receive stripline coil array that was used in this work. (b) The estimated transmit (TX) and receive (RX) profiles and the transmit-received image (TX-RX) of the birdcage mode of the array for a water-filled spherical phantom surrounded by a ‘loading ring’ to match the excitation inhomogeneity to that observed for in vivo brain imaging at 7T. Also shown (bottom right) is an in vivo transmit-receive image (TX-RX) of the birdcage mode of the array with similar inhomogeneity to the phantom transmit-received image. (c) Estimated magnitude (normalized units) and phase (degrees) of the transmission coil profiles.
