Ideal surface current patterns associated with the best possible SNR at a voxel in the center of a sphere are compared, at 7 T, with SNR-optimized current patterns for an 8-element and a 64-element array at a single time-point. The corresponding SNR, normalized to the ultimate intrinsic SNR, is reported for both coils above the current plots.
