Human head GRE images acquired using the ICE-decoupled monopole array (A1–A5) and the monopole array without decoupling methods (B1–B5). The local SNR’s were measured and marked in boldface numbers. In the SNR measurements, the signals were measured from a square of 20 × 20 pixels in each of the five positions at the center and periphery of the images. An overall SNR gain of 13–80 % was achieved by using the ICE decoupling method for the 8-channel monopole array over the monopole array with no decoupling treatments
