The use of multi-channel receivers is essential for acquiring B₁⁺ with sufficient SNR to calculate electrical properties. Combining the individual channel images prior to these calculations typically involves a SENSE-like method or the use of some reference image. In this work we present a modified version of coil compression to provide an automatic and simplified multi-channel array data combination for high SNR phase-based conductivity mapping.
