Abstract: An inductively coupled RF coil is introduced for high-resolution MR studies at 9.4 T. The coil offers the flexibility of use as an implantable coil for local imaging inside the body or as a surface coil for imaging below complex surfaces. Successful operation of this coil at strong magnetic field requires special design considerations. In this note, implementation issues of the coil are discussed in detail and practical solutions to overcome some of these difficulties are offered. Imaging performance of the coil and its versatility are demonstrated with images acquired from rat spinal cord when the coil is implanted, and mouse spine and brain when the coil is placed on the surface.
