Receiver coil array simulation within realistic constrains are helpful for decision-making in coil design, especially when the array comprises many surface coil elements. Three coil array arrangements utilizing 64 loop elements were systematically evaluated regarding their encoding capabilities for accelerated simultaneous multi-slice cardiac acquisitions. Loop arrays consisting of small loop element near target region, but large once beyond the heart, seems to be best-suited for highly accelerated cardiac MRI.
