A hybrid microstrip coil for magnetic resonance imaging including a microstrip assembly aligned in the superior/inferior (S/I) direction. In one example, the microstrip assembly has conductive strips disposed on one side of a substrate corresponding shield planes disposed on the other side of the substrate. The microstrip assemblies are coupled together by coaxial sections forming a continuous transmission line and having a specific overall electrical length.
