Abstract
An RF coil with high signal-to-noise (S/N) and B,homogeneity over the volume originating from the arctic arch and extending to the top of the head, which is highly desirable for quantitative (anatomical, vascular and functional) studies in-vivo. The coil is suitable for use in performing multiple studies and reducing scan time without patient repositioning. Moreover, the coil is capable of imaging in different operating modes. A split-top design is used to ease patient access.
