✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We present a derivation of the losses in a birdcage resonator due to radiation. We also present an expression for the radiation limited Q. It is shown that in head coil imaging at 63 MHz radiative losses may account for 20% of the total loss with a radiation limited Q on the order of 150. The results are shown to be consistent with those reported in the recent literature.

## Abstract A practical design for a high‐pass birdcage resonator is presented. Precision seamless telescoping tubes were used for easy tuning of resonant frequency by adjusting the length of the coils. Three probes, of 4.4, 5.0, and 25.0 cm in diameter, respectively, were constructed and tested. A

## Abstract A theoretical framework is presented for designing birdcage resonators for MRI and MR spectroscopy. The analogy between the birdcage problem and the phonon problem in solid‐state physics is used to achieve multiple tuning. Allowing that the capacitances in the columns of the cage assume

## Abstract The issues related to the simulation of specific absorption rate (SAR) in a high frequency magnetic resonance coil are discussed in this work. Using simulation results, it is shown that the effect of the nonimaging modes on SAR can be substantial and thus must be taken into account. Als
