MR images demonstrating the performance of the induced current compensation decoupling method. (a)–(f) Water phantom (6.35 cm in diameter by 50.8 cm in length) gradient echo images were acquired using the six elements (or channels) of the induced current compensation decoupled microstrip coil array as shown in Fig. 2. Imaging parameters: TR = 100 ms, TE = 1.1 ms, slice thickness = 5 mm, flip angle = 30°, FOV = 35 cm; (g) the reconstructed image using the sum of squares method shows the combined water phantom image using the new approach.
