abstract = {A folded four-ring quadrature birdcage coil was designed
and constructed with a double-tune configuration of an outer
high-pass coil for 1H (400 MHz) and inner low-pass coil
for 23Na (105.72 MHz at 9.4 T). The coil was evaluated
on the bench and in the scanner, comparing its performance
with that of single-tuned coils and a large four-ring coil.
All coils were tuned and matched and the isolation between
two quadrature ports was found to be better than
−13.7 dB for 1H and −27 dB for 23Na. Signal-to-noise
ratios (SNRs) were calculated and 23Na flip angle maps were
acquired. 23Na SNR of the folded four-ring reached $∼93\%$
of that obtained with the single-tuned coil. A set of in
vivo1H and 23Na axial images to cover the whole rat brain
were obtained. The performance of the folded four-ring coil
and its benefit for 23Na imaging experiments have been
demonstrated. This proposed four-ring coil could avoid
length restrictions, e.g. the shoulders, by folding the
outer rings vertically. This facilitates the construction of
double-tuned four-ring birdcage coils just to fit the head,
leading to higher filling factors and better SNR.},
