TL;DR

A gradient-recalled echo (GRE) sequence is presented alongside an image-based analysis for SNR estimation and QC of 13C coils, advancing the clinical translation of 13C MRS methodologies.

Abstract

Due to the inherently low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) domain for 13C imaging, optimal coil performance is essential to maximize data quality. Quality control (QC) for 13C coils employed in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is of paramount importance. This study presents a gradient‐recalled echo (GRE) sequence alongside an image‐based analysis for SNR estimation and QC of 13C coils.
