Fig. 7.

SNR-scaled images for a single volunteer in the SAX view and the 4Ch view. The separate contributions of the loop and dipole elements are displayed here. Phase shimming was applied on three transverse slices through the heart for all volunteers, and the same shim settings were used for all acquisitions. Images were acquired at a resolution of 1.1 × 1.1 × 2.5 mm³, at an average scan time of 20 s
