Area of Science:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Medical Imaging Hardware
RF Coil Technology

Background:

Highly accelerated MRI is a rapidly advancing field in hardware and methodology.
Single Echo Acquisition (SEA) imaging utilizes a 64-element array of narrow, parallel coils to eliminate phase encoding.
The narrow coil width in SEA limits the useful imaging depth.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel 64-element planar array designed to increase imaging depth in SEA MRI.
To maintain full one-dimensional acceleration capabilities within a compact footprint.
To modify element design for improved imaging depth without compromising acceleration.

Main Methods:

Construction of a 64-element planar array within an 8x13cm footprint.

Modification of element design by lowering outer conducting legs and adding geometric decoupling.

The new element, termed 'dual-plane pair', uses two separate planes for current-carrying rungs.

Main Results:

The dual-plane pair element design successfully increases the imaging depth compared to previous SEA arrays.
Full one-dimensional acceleration is maintained with the new array design.
The array fits within the same compact footprint as the original SEA array.

Conclusions:

The developed dual-plane pair array offers enhanced imaging depth for SEA MRI.
This innovation allows for faster MRI acquisition with improved coverage.
The design represents a significant advancement in accelerated MRI hardware.
