Table 1. General guiding principles for designing integrated ΔB₀/Rx arrays in which the RF receive arrays and multi-coil (MC) shim arrays use the same conductor windings.

Design principle	Benefit for RF receive arrays	Benefit for MC shim array
Place and orient loops optimally with respect to the region of interest.	Increased RF coverage, sensitivity and SNR	Generate B₀ offsets in the body with high efficiency
Use as many coils/degrees of freedom as possible	Improve parallel imaging performance	Cancel high-spatial order B₀ inhomogeneity
