Abstract
Asymmetric, single-channel radio frequency ('RF') coils are provided for use with portable or other low-field magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) systems. In general, the asymmetric, single-channel RF coils make use of asymmetric, optimized winding configurations in order to reduce B1+ inhomogeneities and to reduce signal sensitivity outside of the desired imaging field-of-view (“FOV”).
