Low SAR P (multi-echo) spectroscopic imaging using an integrated whole-body transmit coil at 7T.

Phosphorus ( P) MRSI provides opportunities to monitor potential biomarkers. However, current applications of P MRS are generally restricted to relatively small volumes as small coils are used. Conventional surface coils require high energy adiabatic RF pulses to achieve flip angle homogeneity, leading to high specific absorption rates (SARs), and occupy space within the MRI bore.
