Abstract

A numerical study of a radio frequency transceiver coil incorporating a capacitive metasurface is investigated for 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spinal cord. Full field simulations are carried out using the head of a human body model where the magnetic flux density (B1-) is compared to a standard transceiver coil. It is shown that an average improvement in B1- of 70% can be observed inside the cervical spinal cord.
