Recent studies show that high permittivity materials (HPMs) have great application prospects in improving the performance of RF coils and enhancing magnetic resonance image signal to noise ratio (SNR) in high and ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). So far the research about HPMs mainly focuses on its benefit for MRI image SNR, while investigation on how its geometrical structure affects the homogeneity of transmit field (
