Metamaterial‐Enabled Hybrid Receive Coil for Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Capabilities by Xia Zhu, Ke Wu, Stephan W. Anderson, Xin Zhang

“…Both the coil and metamaterial are individually non‐resonant at the targeted Larmor frequency, but their mutual coupling induces a resonance shift, achieving a frequency match and forming a hybrid structure with enhanced SNR. Experimental validation on a 3.0 T MRI platform shows that this design allows for adjustable trade‐offs between peak SNR and penetration depth, making it adaptable for various clinical imaging scenarios.…”
