Human head GRE images acquired with a 7 T Siemens scanner using the ICE-decoupled monopole array. a Combined GRE image and individual sub-images from each coil element in the transverse plane with parameters: FA = 25 deg, TR = 120 ms, TE = 6 ms, FOV = 250 × 250 mm2, matrix = 256 × 256, slice thickness = 5 mm. b Combined GRE image and individual sub-images from each coil element in the sagittal plane using the same sequence. The ICE-decoupled monopole array has sufficient SNR at both the peripheral area and the central area of the brain. These images indicate that monopole arrays using the ICE decoupling technique are feasible for human head imaging at the ultrahigh field of 7 T
