Designing parallel transmit head coil arrays based on radiofrequency pulse performance.

abstract：:Calculations and experiments that provide support for our previously stated theorem are presented: If two coils simultaneously receiving magnetic resonance signals from the same anatomic region exhibit zero mutual inductance, there can be no correlation of the noise. It is shown that correlation does not exist even in...
