Synopsis

Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, RF Arrays & Systems

We constructed and tested a reclinable MR compatible chair equipped with an 8-channel spine array coil for 3T. The coil used a combination of overlap and transformer decoupling to maximize spatial resolution without modifying individual coil size. The signal to noise ratio and noise correlation matrices were used to compare the performance of the array to a 32-channel commercial array of the same type. The SNR variations were tested with respect to the inclination of the chair.
