Design and Implementation of Two 16-Element Antisymmetric Transceiver Coil Arrays for Parallel Transmission Human Cardiac MRI at 7 T

Two 16-element radio frequency (RF) transceiver antisymmetric coil arrays with two different implementation designs aiming for improved characteristics for static phase $B_{1}^{+}$ shimming and parallel receive were developed for human cardiac MRI at 7 T. Both cardiac arrays consist of a weakly curved lightweight housing fit to an average human thorax shape as an anterior array in combination wi...
