Symmetric coils may enhance volunteer coronary MRA quality; leaves open patient validation for clinical 2D-SENSE adoption.
Optimizing coil configuration to a symmetric setup maximizes SNR for accelerated 2D-SENSE whole-heart coronary imaging.
Buehrer et al. (2006) studied this question. 2D-SENSE whole-heart coronary imaging with optimized symmetric coil configuration vs. Other coil configurations was evaluated on Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and depiction of coronary systems. A symmetric coil configuration yielded the highest SNR, enabling excellent depiction of the right and left coronary systems in volunteers using 2D-SENSE coronary imaging.
