Abstract:
Single Echo Acquisition (SEA) is a method of completely parallel MR imaging that uses coil elements for spatial localization during receive, replacing the need for phase encoding repetitions. In this receive-only form, SEA imaging requires the use of a phase compensation gradient, the value of which is dependent on coil geometry, imaging distance from the elements, and element orientation. Operation of the arrays in transmit-receive mode, while adding significant complexity, is one potential method of eliminating the restrictions imposed by the phase compensation gradient. This abstract examines a straightforward current-splitting technique to enable parallel transmission for studying the complicated field interactions of these array coils in transmit mode.

Mutual Inductance
When two circuits carrying time-varying currents are close to one another, the magnetic flux through each circuit varies because of the changing current in the other circuit. Consequently, an emf is induced in each circuit by the changing current in the other. Therefore, this type of emf is called...
