      abstract     = {With the increasing adoption of ultra-high-field (UHF)
                      systems, sodium (23Na) imaging is undergoing clinical
                      translation. However, existing commercially available
                      dual-tuned coils, while demonstrating adequate sodium
                      signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), fail to meet the requirements
                      for high-resolution proton (1H) structural imaging,
                      resulting in suboptimal workflow efficiency during
                      integrated multi-nucleus examinations. In this work, we
                      present a novel double-layer 1H/23Na transceiver array with
                      eight channels per nucleus for human brain MRI at 7T. The
                      proposed array achieved $64\%$ of the 1H SNR of the
                      32-channel receive array commonly used in clinical practice.
                      By integrating dual-nucleus imaging capabilities within a
                      single platform, this design eliminates coil-switching
                      requirements and post-acquisition registration, thereby
                      streamlining clinical workflows and advancing sodium MRI
                      translational feasibility.},
