Fig. 7.
Sagittal view of the Body Phantom: TOP LEFT: Reconstructed without compensating for the 2.7D sensitivity pattern. BOTTOM LEFT: Reconstructed with 2.7D normalization. RIGHT: Profile through the hot sphere as indicated by the red dashed lines on the images at left. Applying the 2.7D normalization improves the image uniformity/reduces the baseline noise in the profile, as well as increasing the peak height of the profile through the hot sphere.
