Whole body slotted tube resonator (STR) for proton NMR imaging at 2.0 Tesla.
Design principles of a whole body Slotted Tube Resonator (STR) RF coil are given and fabrication details of the RF coil for a 2.0 Tesla NMR imaging system are presented. Experimental study proved efficient operation of the coil at 2.0 Tesla field and indicated potential for the extension of the technique to the even higher fields.
