Abstract In this paper, we propose, design and test a new dual-nuclei RF-coil inspired by wire metamaterial structures. The coil operates as result of resonant excitation hybridized eigenmodes in multimode flat periodic structures comprising several coupled thin metal strips. It was shown that the field distribution (i.e. penetration depth) can be controlled independently at two different Larmor frequencies selecting proper eigenmode each mutually orthogonal proposed requires no lumped...

Hyperbolic metasurfaces have gained significant attention due to their extraordinary electromagnetic properties control propagating plane waves, but the excitation and propagation of surface plasmon-polaritons at hyperbolic metasurfaces, called plasmons, been experimentally observed just recently. However, advantages such as hybrid TE-TM polarization discussed below, are not yet fully revealed analyzed. In this paper we focus on numerical experimental characterization waves in frequency...

Particular applications in preclinical magnetic resonance imaging require the entire body of an animal to be imaged with sufficient quality. This is usually performed by combining regions scanned small coils high sensitivity or long scans using large low sensitivity. Here, a metamaterial-inspired design employing parallel array wires operating on principle eigenmode hybridization was used produce small-animal coil. The coil field distribution responsible for view and simulated...

Phased antenna arrays of dipoles are widely used in ultrahigh field (UHF) magnetic resonance imaging for creating the controllable radio frequency (RF) distributions a human body. Due to safety and quality reasons each individual channel array should be decoupled-electromagnetically isolated from others. The required number channels is large some techniques dipole antennas located close proximity Their ultimately dense arrangement leads strong mutual coupling makes conventional decoupling...
