A radio frequency (RF) coil array includes a first coil section and a second coil section mechanically coupled to the first coil section. The first coil section includes a first row of a plurality of double asymmetric saddle coil pairs arranged in a left-right direction and a second row of a plurality of double asymmetric saddle coil pairs arranged in a left-right direction. The first row and the second row are arranged along a superior-inferior direction. The second coil section includes a plurality of loop coils arranged around at least a portion of a perimeter of the first coil section.

RF coil array for cardiac and thoracic magnetic resonance imaging

A radio frequency (RF) coil array includes a plurality of RF coil sections arranged in a superior-inferior direction. Each RF coil section includes a plurality of asymmetric saddle coil pairs configured in an overlapping arrangement in a left-right direction. The plurality of asymmetric saddle coil pairs may include three asymmetric saddle coil pairs arranged in a left-right direction. The position of the asymmetric saddle coil pairs on the left and right may be shifted in the superior-inferior direction with respect to the middle asymmetric saddle coil pair. In an alternative configuration, each RF coil section includes a first loop coil, an asymmetric saddle coil pair and a second loop coil arranged in a left-right direction.
