Separating transmission and reception of signals can
significantly boost SNR of
31
P
signals, therefore we developed a 7-channel
31
P
receive-only array that could be used with a detunable
31
P
birdcage, which was inserted into an 8-channel
1
H
head-coil. Signals could be enhanced further by
exploiting the Nuclear Overhauser Effect as was shown
in-vivo
.
