Quasistatic Solutions versus Full-Wave Solutions of Single-Channel Circular RF Receive Coils on Phantoms of Varying Conductivities at 3 Tesla

Figure 1

Three geometrically identical phantoms with conductivities of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 S/m were used. The phantom shown has a diameter/height of 27.8/10.1 cm with a 6 cm coil element. The ports for the match capacitor, tune capacitors, inductor, and excitation are also shown.
