Zusammenfassung:
RF coils for human head imaging need to provide access for the human neck and cannot be entirely closed. In this work, we investigate the ultimate intrinsic signal-to-noise ratio (UISNR) in a spherical phantom due to an open-pole surface current distribution, where the generic surface current patterns run on a spherical cap. The influence of the cap’s opening angle ϑ0 on UISNR, parallel imaging performance and on the contribution of curl-free and divergence-free current patterns to UISNR is studied.
