Poor SNR with single-channel birdcage coils in first version of protocol. As indicated in Table 1, the protocol using a single-channel birdcage coil differs from the phased array protocol. Left: When 1.5 T images are acquired using the phased array protocol with a birdcage coil, poor SNR results. Right: Making the parameter adjustments listed in Table 1 resolves the problem without increasing chemical shift.
