title: A simple method to incorporate the effects of an RF shield into RF resonator analysis for MRI applications.
abstract: A simple but effective method is proposed to incorporate the effects of a radio-frequency (RF) shield into the analysis of RF resonators for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications. It is shown that the method can predict the resonant frequencies of RF resonators within 5% of the measured values.
