✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The crossover surface coil is constructed with two turns of copper foil using a unique transposition construction which incorporates an explicit center tap ground of the widened bottom layer. The coil reduces dielectric and inductive losses by effective shielding of electric fields and uniform distribution of magnetic fields for minimum Q losses upon loading of the coil. Flexible, copper foil construction permits easy conformation to tissues of interest, enhancing coil performance. Construction details of the crossover coil and Q data for coils of various sizes operating at a number of frequencies are given.
