Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radio frequency (RF) coil configured to operate in at least one of a transmit mode or a receive mode. A first birdcage coil includes a pair of first-birdcage end rings and at least four first-birdcage rungs circumferentially arranged along the first-birdcage end rings. A second birdcage coil including a pair of second-birdcage end rings and at least four second-birdcage rungs circumferentially arranged along the second-birdcage end rings. The first and second birdcage coils neighbor and are spaced by a first non-zero distance along an axis. The axis is surrounded by the first-birdcage end rings and the second-birdcage end rings, and the first non-zero distance is greater than individual lengths of the first and second birdcage coils along the axis.
