Figure 5

Three different array channel combination methods for 7T gray matter exhibiting the effect of the combination weights to the relationship of tSNR vs SNR0. From left to right, (A) single loop data from the 32Ch array, (B) data were generated by combining the individual coil elements with a birdcage combination and (C) using the rSoS combination method. Estimated α values are given on each graph. Similarly to other figures, SNR0 was modulated by varying the voxel size and the two models are shown in dotted (KG-model) and solid (PNC-model) lines. Thumbnails with representative images of each combination are shown on each graph.
