Abstract
Embodiments relate to cylindrical MRI coils with at least one row as a birdcage row in a transmit mode. One example embodiment is a MRI Radio Frequency (RF) coil array comprising two or more rows of four or more RF coil elements each. Each of the RF coil elements can be configured to resonate at a working frequency of the coil array in a receive mode. At least one of the rows can be configured as a birdcage coil in the transmit mode, and the two or more rows can inductively couple together such that all the two or more rows can resonate together in the transmit mode at the working frequency.
