A 16‐channel combined loop‐dipole transceiver array for 7 <scp>T</scp>esla body <scp>MRI</scp>

Abstract

Combining loop and dipole elements provided a body imaging array with high channel count and density while limiting inter-element coupling. The 16LD improved both near and far-field performance compared with existing 7.0T body arrays and provided high-quality MRI of the prostate kidneys and heart.
