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.
To evaluate k‐space acquisition strategies for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a nonuniform B0 (NuBo) field‐cycling system, focusing on image quality, scan‐time efficiency, robustness to B0 inhomogeneity, and RF coil bandwidth constraints.

BACKGROUND
Access to MRI is limited by lengthy exam times and inefficient utilization. Focused protocols can reduce exam times, but workflow variability and inefficient room turnaround contribute to conservative scheduling with long exam slots.
