Abstract

In this work we investigate capabilities of finite-size EBG metasurface for suppression of inter-element coupling between two neighboring closely-spaced dipole elements of a six-element transceive array coils for body imaging at 7 T. We confirmed the decoupling effect by measurements in a dummy bore as well as inside an MRI system. By numerical simulation we showed that the presence of EBG structure did not increase the local SAR level.
