. The goal of this study is to use multi-channel transmit coil to target and excites the nuclei in spatially uniform manner in conjunction with a receive-only insert. In this preliminary study, we utilized 7 Tesla human MRI scanner with a 12-channel transmit array combined with 16-channel receive-only body array that target kidney and liver
