Abstract: MR measurement using a combination of X-nuclei and proton MRI is of great interest as the information provided by the two nuclei is highly complementary, with the X-nuclei signal giving metabolic data relating to potential biomarkers and the proton signal affording anatomical details. Due to the relatively weak signal obtained from X-nuclei, combining an X-nuclei coil with a proton coil is also advantageous for B0 shimming and scout images. One approach to building a double-resonant coil is to modify the coil geometry. Here, to achieve double-resonance, a 2× 1 ladder network was designed and tuned at both proton and X-nuclei frequencies successfully. Due to coupling between closed wires, the double-tuned coil generates a shifted transmit efficiency pattern compared to that of the single-tuned loop at the 7T MRI proton frequency. To compensate for the shifted pattern, one part of the 2× 1 ladder network was folded, and the tuning and performance of the folded double-tuned coil were evaluated in simulations and MR measurements. The proposed structure was further evaluated with overlapped decoupling in a receive-only array. The results show that our proposed folded double-tuned coil moderated the shifted pattern of a straight double-tuned loop coil and provided minimum losses at both proton and X-nuclei frequencies. The proposed folded double-tuned loop coil has also been further extended to a receive-only array.
