Abstract

INTRODUCTION: MRI of excised hearts at ultra-high field strengths ([Formula: see text]≥7 T) can provide high-resolution, high-fidelity ground truth data for biomedical studies, imaging science, and artificial intelligence. In this study, we demonstrate the capabilities of a custom-built, multiple-element transceiver array customized for high-resolution imaging of excised hearts.
