pubmed:abstractText
Biological samples have a high dielectric constant that can shorten RF wavelengths by a factor of 8 relative to the vacuum. At high field strengths, finite wavelength effects within larger samples are the dominant cause of RF field nonuniformity. A coil design is presented that can reduce and even eliminate this inhomogeneity; 4-T images in phantoms and in the head of a normal volunteer are presented, which demonstrate improved homogeneity relative to a standard coil. This coil design should aid in realizing the potential advantages of imaging large samples at high field strengths.
