-Field Distribution for the 19F/1H RF Birdcage Probe.

(A) Three dimensional design of the 19F/1H RF birdcage probe holding a phantom (turquoise) simulated with a finite integration technique (CST Studio Suite). For the measurements a phantom with similar dielectric properties and geometry was used. (B) Sagittal cross-section through the simulated -field within the phantom. (C) Comparison of -field measurement of the 1H channel with the simulation of a central slice, scaled to the same input power and absorbed tissue-power in the object, not considering cable losses, plugs and baluns. (D) Shows a line-plot through the center of the simulated and measured -field, with a maximum of in the simulation and for the measurement at the center. -profile over the center slice ranges from in the simulation and in the measurement.
