A radiofrequency (rf) coil design based on a slotted tube resonator which allows highresolution imaging of the rodent brain with excellent anatomic definition on a standard G.E. CSI II 2.0‐T MR imaging unit with no modification of existing apparatus is described. The coil is easily constructed and permits very rapid tuning to different loading conditions, allowing a high sample throughput. © 1988 Academic Press, Inc.
