10-channel phased-array coil for carotid wall MRI at 3T

Journal article

In vivo estimated g-factor noise amplification using the 4-channel and the 10-channel coils, at (a) R = 2 and (b) R = 3. All data is shown for transverse acquisitions. The top two rows show reconstructions as well as retained SNR (inverse g-factor) maps of a single transverse slice for both coils and at both acceleration factors. The bottom row shows the maximum transverse g-factor in each slice. Note that the maximum g-factor values are shown using a different y-axis scaling in Fig (a) than in Fig (b).
