Synergies Between RF Receive Arrays and Multi-Coil Shim Arrays
| Design Principle | Benefit for RF Receive Array | Benefit for MC Shim Array |
|---|---|---|
| Place loops as close to body as possible. |
Increase B1− sensitivity and SNR. | Generate ΔB0 shim field in body with high efficiency. |
| Use as many coils/degrees of freedom as practical. |
Improve parallel imaging performance. | Cancel higher-order B0 inhomogeneity. |
MC, multicoil; RF, radio frequency; SNR, signal-to-noise ratio.
