Analysis of 1H results. The reference powers obtained for the different coils after RF autocalibration of the magnet, the average standard deviation of noise calculated from both coronal and sagittal images, and the comparison of the FOV and SNR obtained from each coil
| Coil | Reference power (W) | Average σ | FOV and SNR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birdcage coil | 3.89 | 1.55 e−5 | Whole‐body with homogeneous and low SNR (100) |
| Case B | 0.96 | 1.35 e−5 | Whole‐body with higher SNR (250) in shallow depth |
| Surface coil | 0.14 | 1.35 e−5 | Reduced FOV with high SNR (1200) |
| Case C | 0.22 | 1.21 e−5 | Wider FOV with a local SNR (900) |
