Abstract:
A fast spin-echo pulse sequence was combined with multiple surface coils used simultaneously in the form of a "multicoil" in magnetic resonance imaging studies of the female pelvis. This combination allowed maximal resolution with maintenance of the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) at an acceptable level, and the S/N with the multicoil system was substantially better than that achieved with a body coil. Excellent image quality and demonstration of anatomic detail were afforded by use of this technique.
