This project builds on the achievements of our previous GCCR project. It focuses on the development of enabling radiofrequency (RF) antenna technology tailored for high spatial resolution cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at a magnetic field strength of 7.0 Tesla. To meet this objective multi-channel transmission RF antenna arrays will be designed. For this purpose novel dipole antenna building blocks will be developed, implemented and validated. The clinical feasibility of the novel technology will be evaluated in a volunteer study at 7.0 Tesla with the ultimate goal to enable sub-millimeter spatial resolution cardiac MR imaging that supports visualization of subtle cardiac anatomy, high fidelity cardiac chamber quantification and imaging based myocardial tissue characterization.
