Digitalization decoupling method and its application to the phased array in MRI

A general network decoupling method for phased array radio frequency coil used in magnetic resonance imaging is developed. A more flexible digital approach further simplifies the method, which has an even higher signal-to-noise ratio. The performance of the digitalized decoupling method was confirmed by the calculated result by using a high frequency structure simulation software with the method of finite element for a tree-port phased array RF coil. The consistence was well established between the theoretical and simulated results.Materials Science, MultidisciplinaryMultidisciplinary SciencesSCI(E)2ARTICLE9683-6891
