Odd-Leg Birdcages for Geometric Decoupling in Multinuclear Imaging and Spectroscopy

The utility of interleaved odd-number leg birdcage coils is demonstrated for decoupling in double- and triple-tuned multinuclear applications. was designed to geometrically decouple from a planar double-tuned (1H-23Na) array 31P saddle coil insert create configuration. Comparisons between an actively detuned purely decoupled architecture were used demonstrate the capabilities design. In particular cases, simplicity adaptability nine-leg design nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) offer straightforward alternative often complex lossy designs currently available birdcages volume coils.
