Study of Magnetic Resonance Sensitivity for Detection of Materials: Are Multiple Coil Arrays Better than Single Coils

Abstract

Receiver coil sensitivity for Materials Detection by magnetic resonance was investigated, comparing measurement strategies using one large coil and arrays of smaller coils. It is found that an array of smaller coils will result in improved sensitivity for detection of sample volumes which are small compared to the volume to be sampled, however one large coil will perform better for larger samples.
