Synopsis

Keywords: Joints, JointsThis study investigated the feasibility and potential advantages of adaptive imaging receiver (AIR) coil for knee imaging. The results show that the SNR and CNR of air coil images were inferior to that of traditional knee coil, but the visual image qualities were comparable between two coils. The air coil can be feasible for knee imaging, especially for patients with large size and double knee imaging.
