18 to 126 94.08 ± 3.53 61.47 ± 6.02 69.53 ± 6.64 65.06 ± 11.56 0.127
138 to 198 5.86 ± 3.45 31.75 ± 2.91 27.13 ± 4.70 28.19 ± 8.43 0.176
210 to 282 0.05 ± 0.11 6.77 ± 3.29 3.33 ± 2.17 6.75 ± 3.15 0.131
b) Depth Range Mean SNR within Depth Range

6 to 20 mm 100.35 ± 5.83 145.46 ± 11.41 132.08 ± 8.83 142.88 ± 14.31 0.172
22 to 36 mm 85.30 ± 5.20 104.58 ± 8.29 102.50 ± 8.45 102.03 ± 12.64 0.657

Results of histogram analysis. (a) Percentage of voxels in the brain that fall within the SNR ranges in the leftmost column, for each of the receive coil configurations. (b) Mean SNR within the given depth range in the leftmost column. Values represent mean and standard deviation among all subjects. P values determine the likelihood of the null hypothesis μ (64-Ch) = μ (uHDC V1). Values below 0.05 indicate statistically significant differences between the mean SNR of the two coil configurations.
