In this project is designed a Birdcage coil for a 7T to obtain images from small animals (like a mouse). The birdcage coil achieves circular polarization and generates a high homogeneous radio frequency magnetic field under many conditions. For this reason, it is interesting research with high fields. Moreover, a better SNR increases the spatial resolution or reduces the imaging time. More strength field has a better SNR and increased chemical shift effects, improving spectral fat suppression and spectroscopy.

Concretely, the principal objective is the design of a birdcage coil (RF coil) to use in a 7 Tesla scanner. This work describes the study of coil for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) application.
