contents Leveraging the potential of low-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), our study introduces the multimodal surface RF coil, a design tailored to overcome the limitations of conventional coils in this context. The inherent challenges of low-field MRI, notably suboptimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the need for specialized RF coils, are effectively addressed by our novel design. The multimodal surface coil is characterized by a unique assembly of resonators, optimized for both B1 efficiency and low-frequency tuning capabilities, essential for low-field applications. This paper provides a thorough investigation of the conceptual framework, design intricacies, and bench test validation of the multimodal surface coil. Through detailed simulations and comparative analyses, we demonstrate its superior performance in terms of B1 field efficiency, outperforming conventional surface coils.
