Abstract

The performance of a 16‐channel receive‐only RF coil for brain imaging at 3.0 Tesla was investigated using a custom‐built 16‐channel receiver. Both the image signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and the noise amplification (g‐factor) in sensitivity‐encoding (SENSE) parallel imaging applications were quantitatively evaluated. Furthermore, the performance was compared with that of hypothetical coils with one, two, four, and eight elements (n) by combining channels in software during image reconstruction. As expected, both the g‐factor and SNR improved substantially with n. Compared to an equivalent (simulated) single‐element coil, the 16‐channel coil showed a 1.87‐fold average increase in brain SNR. This was mainly due to an increase in SNR in the peripheral brain (an up to threefold SNR increase), whereas the SNR increase in the center of the brain was 4%. The incremental SNR gains became relatively small at large n, with a 9% gain observed when n was increased from 8 to 16. Compared to the (larger) product birdcage head coil, SNR increased by close to a factor of 2 in the center, and by up to a factor of 6 in the periphery of the brain. For low SENSE acceleration (rate‐2), g‐factors leveled off for n > 4, and improved only slightly (1.4% averaged over brain) going from n = 8 to n = 16. Improvements in g for n > 8 were larger for higher acceleration rates, with the improvement for rate‐3 averaging 12.0%. Magn Reson Med 51:22–26, 2004. Published 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
