abstract = {In this work, 22 configurations for remote radiofrequency
(RF) coil arrays consisting of different transmit element
designs for 7 Tesla (T) ultrahigh-field MRI are compared by
numerical simulations.Investigated transmit RF element types
are rectangular loops, micro striplines, micro striplines
with meanders, 250-mm shielded dipoles with meanders, and
lambda over two dipoles with and without shield. These
elements are combined in four different configurations of
circumferential RF body arrays with four or eight transmit
elements each. Comparisons included coupling behavior,
degrees of freedom offered by the individual transmit
patterns, and metrics like power and specific absorption
rate efficiency.Coupling between neighboring RF elements is
elevated (up to -7 dB) for all arrays with eight elements,
whereas it is below -25 dB for arrays with only four
elements. The cumulative sum of singular values points out
highest degrees of freedom for the central transversal,
reduced values in the central coronal, and minimum values in
the sagittal slice. Concerning power and SAR efficiency,
eight lambda over two dipoles are most advantageous.Among
the investigated remote arrays and parameters, a combination
of eight dipoles appears to be most favorable for potential
use in 7T body MRI. Magn Reson Med 79:1116-1126, 2018. ©
