(T/R) Also called transceiver coil. An RF coil that acts as a transmitter (T) producing the B1 excitation field and as a receiver (R) of the MRI signal. Such a coil requires a T/R switching circuit to switch between the two modes. A body coil is typically a T/R coil, but smaller volume T/R coils (head/extremities) are often used at high field as a possibility of reducing RF power absorption (SAR). | |
