AB - <jats:p>The proliferation of highfield wholebody systems, advances in gradient performance and refinement of signaltonoise ratio (SNR)efficient shortTE sequences suitable for sodium imaging have led to a resurgence of interest in sodium imaging for body applications. With this renewed interest has come increased demand for SNRefficient sodium coils. Efficient coils can significantly increase SNR in sodium imaging, allowing higher resolutions and/or shorter scan times. In this work, we focus on body imaging applications of sodium MRI, and review developments in MRI radiofrequency (RF) coil topologies for sodium imaging. We first provide a brief discussion of RF coil design considerations in sodium imaging. This is followed by an overview of common coil topologies, their advantages and disadvantages, and examples of each. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.</jats:p>
