Comparing the imaging performance of a three-channel endorectal coil for magnetic resonance imaging at 5T and 3T

We made a three-channel endorectal coil for prostate imaging on the 5T magnetic resonance system and compared the imaging performance of the coils with the same structure on the 5T system and the 3T system. Prostate images at resolution of 0.78 mm × 0.78 mm × 2.5 mm were performed. In vivo prostate study shows that the endorectal coil works on the 5T system shows better image quality compared with the endorectal coil and surface coil array on the 3T system.
