Acquisition of multiple nuclear species in MRI/MRS is significant for obtaining metabolic imaging in vivo and biological information. In this study, a16-channel RF quadruple-nuclear coils system capable of 1H / 19F / 23Na/ 31P imaging was designed. Numerical electromagnetic simulation was employed to validate the feasibility and performance of the proposed RF coil system by the scattering parameters and B1+field distributions.
