摘要
The configuration, magnetic field calculation and field distribution of the birdcage RF coil is pre-sented. This type of coil can produce a circular Polarized magnetic field. It has been widely used in the MRIsystem for head and whole-body imaging which can achive nearly optimal RF field uniformity and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). The rnagnetic field is evenly distributed over the coil. The features of the birdcage coil areanalyzed on the basis of numerical simulation and experimental studies.
