abstract = {Sodium (23Na) MRI provides complementarycellular and
metabolic information. However, the intrinsicMR sensitivity
of 23Na is considerably lower comparedwith that of the
proton, making it difficult to measureMR-detectable sodium
signals. It is therefore importantto maintain the
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the sodiumsignal as high as
possible. Double-tuned coils are oftenemployed in
combinationwith a 1H coil, providing structuralimages and B0
shimming capability. The double-tuned coildesign can be
achieved with the use of two geometricallydecoupled
coilswhoseB1 field directions are perpendicularto each
other. This can be used to design
quadrature-driven,single-nucleus coils to improve SNR, and
additionally, thiscoil can also be utilized as a
linear-driven double-resonantmode. Here,we have developed
and evaluateda quadratureenhanced,double-tuned coil. The
novel coil usesPIN-diode switches, inserted only in the loop
coil, toshift the resonance frequency between 1H and 23Na
sothat 23Na signals can be acquired in quadrature and
thecapability of using 1H function remains. Consequently,the
23Na SNR values obtained with the double-tunedcoil are
nearly $33\%$ and $17\%$ higher in comparison
withgeometrically identical single-tuned coils. SNR plots
