A 1.95 fold increase in average signal-to-noise ratio at 10.5T using a 64-channel receiver compared to a 32-channel receiver was demonstrated experimentally in human head phantom imaging.
Figure 3 – Experimental SNR comparison between the 64-channel 10.5T receive array (top row) and the 32-channel 10.5T receive array (bottom row) at 7 axial slices.
