Abstract
An RF birdcage coil for use in magnetic resonance imaging of the head provides a set of longer conductors at the bottom of the birdcage so as to create a shelf providing improved imaging of the lower rear portions of a patient's brain without further obstructing the patient's vision or unduly increasing the total enclosed area of the birdcage with an adverse effect on signal-to-noise ratio.
