Abstract

목적： We has proposed a surface coil which has improved SNR compared with the standard head coil. Usually, a cylindrical head coil provide good homogeneity but less SNR than surface coil. A surface coil has better SNR at the expense of image homogeneity. In this paper, a surface coil of transmit-receive mode offers a better SNR as compared with a head coil.
