A volume brain coil has been developed that allows the
upper half of the coil to reside inside a focused
ultrasound brain transducer. The upper half is
inductively driven by the lower coil half obviating the
need for electrical wire connections across the membrane
into the acoustic water path. The coil transmits in the
local region of the head reducing total SAR from a whole
body coil and improves signal to noise ratio and
temperature uncertainty by 300%
