Resumen
This study presents the analytical derivation and mathematical modeling of the quasi-static magnetic field produced by a spiral radiofrequency (RF) coil, designed for an ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system operating at a Larmor frequency of 11.71 MHz. The model is constructed using the Biot-Savart law, approximating the RF coil as the superposition of eight concentric rectangular loops based on the physical dimensions of a fabricated prototype. A closed-form expression for the on-axis magnetic field is derived and numerically evaluated.
