Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is noninvasive, is considered safe, and may allow studying the brain under hyperbaric conditions. All of the risks associated with simultaneous MRI and HBO2 therapy are described in detail, along with all of the mitigation strategies and regulatory testing. One of the most significant risks for this type of study is a fire in the hyperbaric chamber caused by the sparking of the MRI coils as a result of high-voltage RF arcs. RF pulses at 128 MHz elicit signals from human tissues, and RF sparking occurs commonly and is considered safe in normobaric conditions. We describe how we built a coil for HBO2-MRI studies by modifying an eight-channel phased-array MRI coil with all of the mitigation strategies discussed. The coil was fabricated and tested with a unique testing platform that simulated the worst-case RF field of a three-Tesla MRI in a Hyperlite hyperbaric chamber at 3 atm pressure. The coil was also tested in normobaric conditions for image quality in a 3 T scanner in volunteers and SNR measurement in phantoms. Further studies are necessary to characterize the coil safety in HBO2\/MRI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22166076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,15]],"date-time":"2022-08-15T23:44:03Z","timestamp":1660607043000},"page":"6076","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A New Phased-Array Magnetic Resonance Imaging Receive-Only Coil for HBO2 Studies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Azma","family":"Mareyam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"A.
