Sensitivity Encoding (SENSE) MRI requires specialized coil configurations for optimal image quality. New design principles, including smaller, non-overlapping coil elements, significantly improve signal-to-noise ratio and noise homogeneity in SENSE imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Sensitivity Encoding (SENSE) MRI utilizes inhomogeneous surface coil sensitivity for signal localization.
  • Standard Fourier MRI differs from SENSE in noise distribution, which is dependent on coil geometry.
  • Optimizing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and noise homogeneity in SENSE requires specific coil array designs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of coil layout on SENSE imaging performance.
  • To identify new design principles for SENSE-compatible coil arrays.
  • To evaluate a novel SENSE coil configuration for cardiac imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Simulations were performed to analyze SENSE imaging implications for coil configurations.

  • Imaging experiments were conducted using phantoms and in vivo subjects.
  • A six-coil array was designed and built based on identified SENSE design principles.

    • Main Results:

    • SENSE imaging necessitates smaller coil elements compared to conventional phased-array imaging.
    • Adjacent coil elements in SENSE arrays should not overlap to optimize performance.
    • The specifically designed six-coil array demonstrated a substantial SNR increase in vivo SENSE images.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific coil design principles are crucial for effective SENSE MRI.
    • The developed coil configuration enhances SNR in SENSE cardiac imaging.
    • This research provides a foundation for optimized SENSE coil array design.
