3D MRI with concurrent excitation and acquisition (CEA)
is implemented with active decoupling of radio frequency
coils. The transmit coil is geometrically decoupled from
the receive coil, and the remaining B1-induced voltages
in the receive coil during CEA are minimized by the
second transmit coil using a careful adjustment of the
phase and amplitude settings in this coil. CEA MR images
could be reconstructed from an ex vivo animal.
