Description
A specialty MRI sequence that blacks out both spinal fluid and white matter exposes lesions other scans miss, but its images run noisy. Adnan Alahmadi and co-authors test in 2026 whether the receiver coil matters, scanning seventeen healthy volunteers at 3 tesla with both a sixty-four-channel and a twenty-channel head coil. Numbers and three radiologists' grades both entered the comparison.
The bigger coil won clearly on signal and contrast measures in every region, and took slightly higher reader grades for contrast, detail, and noise. Agreement among readers ran moderate to strong. The authors favor high-channel coils for this sequence, while asking for patient studies to prove clinical worth.
