An 8-channel Transmit Array for Prostate MRI at 7T Using Six Loops and Two Dipoles: A Simulation Study.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Prospective 8 channel (6Tx loop + 2Tx dipole) body array intended for prostate MRI at 7T was simulated and its B1+ and SAR performance evaluated. The study demonstrated the capability of loop-based arrays to offer competitive levels of prostate imaging performance compared to current state-of-the-art hybrid and dipole arrays reported in the literature.
