Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has a potential to increase signal-to-noise ratio in order to produce clear anatomical as well as functional images of human. Different types of coil has different kind of advantage. TEM coil has an ability to produce homogeneous B1 field but with low SNR while surface coil has a capability of providing us with increased SNR. This paper makes the use of increasing number of receive only surface coil arrays (in varying number) in order to increase SNR.
