Abstract

We evaluated and compared the performance of an inductively decoupled and overlapped dual-row transmit arrays for MRI at 7T. For the evaluated designs, the coupling between adjacent elements in the same row was higher for the overlapped compared to the non-overlapped configuration. However the transmit efficiencies for the circular polarization mode of both coils were similar. For comparisons of array transmit performance, consideration of array-internal losses as well as reflected and radiated power is very important, because their sum can be as high as 55% of the total transmit power.
