Comparison of local and global arrays for MRI Academic Article

abstract

• AbstractDifferent array topologies are examined and compared in an effort to improve arrays for MRI and for SENSE imaging. The prerequisites for a good array are high intrinsic signaltonoise ratio (SNR) and low noise amplification (gfactor) during SENSE acquisitions. The merits of two classes of planar arrays are discussedarrays composed of small elements with local sensitivity versus arrays made up of elements that have a global sensitivity over the entire field of view. 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
