  • Abstract
    In this study, three types of radio-frequency shields are studied and compared in the context of ultra-high field small-animal magnetic resonance imaging. It has been demonstrated that the coil penetration depth and mutual coupling between the coils depend heavily on the type of shield employed. The results were used to guide the design of a 9.4T 8-element transceive small animal array, which provides high overall coil penetration.
