Respiratory motion is an important problem in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), contributing to image blurring during data acquisition and coil detuning. Using the concept of an ideal (perfectly matched and tuned at all available ports) RF transmit coil and the VHP-Female v4.0 dynamic CAD model, we estimate the detuning of a full-body RF coil detuning during the respiratory cycle. Our results show that the computed resonant capacitance values change by at most 0.5%.
