Figure 3. — Full head/neck images with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) carotid coils: three-dimensional (3D) ciné-Retrospective Ordering and Compressed Sensing (ciné-ROCS), delay alternating with nutation for tailored excitation with fast low-angle shot (DASH) coronal images acquired with the standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) head/neck coil (A) without or (B) with the addition of 7-channel coils on the same volunteer. Imaging parameters for the 3D ciné-ROCS DASH image: isotropic voxel dimensions = 0.63 mm, repetition time/echo time = 2.5/8.0 ms, field of view = 240 × 240 mm, matrix size = 384 × 384 × 96, delay alternating with nutation for tailored excitation prep. = 150 ms, flip angle = 8.0°, and scan time = 8 minutes 20 seconds. SNR maps demonstrate 200- to 400-fold increased SNR comparing the standard MRI head/neck coil (C) without versus (D) with the 7-channel coils.
