It was an antenna array consisted of eight patch antennas, located cylindrically. It transmits/receives circularly polarized RF waves through a hybrid. One of the merits of PAA is wide inner space for subjects, provided by its thin antenna structure. Images of a mineral oil phantom showed better SNR than ones taken by our homemade TEM coil. This PAA volume coil will be used for monkey imaging., The NIRS International Symposium Present Status and Future Trends of Ultra-high Magnetic Field MRI}, title = {Development of a New RF Volume Coil - Patch Antenna Array}, year = {2005} }
