abstract = {The aim of this study was to achieve millimeter spatial
resolution sodium in vivo MRI of the human eye at 7 T
using a dedicated six-channel transceiver array. We present
a detailed description of the radiofrequency coil design,
along with electromagnetic field and specific absorption
ratio simulations, data validation, and in vivo
application.Electromagnetic field and specific absorption
ratio simulations were performed. Transmit field uniformity
was optimized by using a multi-objective genetic algorithm.
Transmit field mapping was conducted using a phase-sensitive
method. An in vivo feasibility study was carried out with
3-dimensional density-adapted projection reconstruction
imaging technique.Measured transmit field distribution
agrees well with the one obtained from simulations. The
specific absorption ratio simulations confirm that the
radiofrequency coil is safe for clinical use. Our
radiofrequency coil is light and conforms to an average
human head. High spatial resolution (nominal 1.4 and
1.0 mm isotropic) sodium in vivo images of the human eye
were acquired within scan times suitable for clinical
applications (∼ 10 min).Three most important eye
compartments in the context of sodium physiology were
clearly delineated in all of the images: the vitreous humor,
the aqueous humor, and the lens. Our results provide
encouragement for further clinical studies. The implications
for research into eye diseases including ocular melanoma,
cataract, and glaucoma are discussed. Magn Reson Med
