Abstract :
Due to the MRI signal is much low, the improvement of image quality becomes the important goals for MRI equipment R&D. The RF coil is one of the most important factors in detecting the MRI signal. A new neck coil is developed with four channels phase array design and evaluated. Compared with original coil, the image signal to noise ratio (SNR) and uniformity of new neck coil are improved evidently
