Abstract
This paper demonstrates a new radio frequency (RF) resonator at 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. An approach based on a split ring resonator (SRR) having effective metamaterial properties is investigated. Electromagnetic simulation results are compared for RF resonators and discussed in detail at 3 T. A new RF resonator has approximately 10% higher magnetic fields at the center of the human phantom than the previous RF resonator.
