In this work, we propose a hybrid technique for double-tuned volume coil design by combing microstrip coil design and conventional low pass birdcage design for high field in vivo MR applications. This aims to provide an efficient solution to diminishing technical challenges in designing such coils at high fields, such as the increased interaction between the two nuclear channels, enlarged separation of the two resonance frequencies, and issues caused by high operation frequency required by proton.
