We found the monopole antenna array generated a larger field intensity than the birdcage coil design, whilst also producing a more useful magnetic resonance imaging field as measured by radio frequency field homogeneity. Our study suggests that magnetic resonance imaging of the brain can likely benefit from the use of radio frequency monopole antenna arrays.
