Optimization of a parallel‐plate RF probe for high resolution thin film imaging

Abstract Choosing an MR probe with the correct dimensions and high sensitivity is critical for magnetic resonance imaging, especially high resolution thin film imaging. In this work, a parallel‐plate resonator has been optimized for strength and uniformity of the B 1 magnetic field. The parallel‐plate resonator is designed for high resolution imaging in the direction perpendicular to the plates. The optimization process was undertaken …
