Abstract :
Underlying principles of RF coil techniques are described. A set of coaxial slotted-tube resonators is explicitly introduced. The coil has two coaxial slotted-tubes which can resonate independently and dependently together. The principles of the resonator set, i.e., how the set works, are described. The fabrication details of the coaxial resonators are described. An example of MRI data of an okra obtained at the field of 4.7 Tesla is displayed.
