An RF array coil consisting of 2 - 6 several separately resonant elements, 2 or more of which can be selected as the receiver coil at a particular time. Coils not in use are decoupled. The spatial information related to the coils of a receiver array are utilized, reference images are required, obtained with each array element and with a body coil. Fast parallel imaging techniques using surface multicoils, such as sensitivity encoding (SENSE) or simultaneous acquisition of spatial harmonics (SMASH), have recently raised interest in the field of MR imaging.

(SENSE) A MRI technique for relevant scan time reduction. The spatial information related to the coils of a receiver array are utilized for reducing conventional Fourier encoding. In principle, SENSE can be applied to any imaging sequence and k-space trajectories. However, it is particularly feasible for Cartesian sampling schemes. In 2D Fourier imaging with common Cartesian sampling of k-space sensitivity encoding by means of a receiver array enables to reduce the number of Fourier encoding steps.
SENSE reconstruction without artifacts relies on accurate knowledge of the individual coil sensitivities. For sensitivity assessment, low-resolution, fully Fourier-encoded reference images are required, obtained with each array element and with a body coil.
The major negative point of parallel imaging techniques is that they diminish SNR in proportion to the numbers of reduction factors. R is the factor by which the number of k-space samples is reduced. In standard Fourier imaging reducing the sampling density results in the reduction of the FOV, causing aliasing. In fact, SENSE reconstruction in the Cartesian case is efficiently performed by first creating one such aliased image for each array element using discrete Fourier transformation (DFT).
The next step then is to create a full-FOV image from the set of intermediate images. To achieve this one must undo the signal superposition underlying the fold-over effect. That is, for each pixel in the reduced FOV the signal contributions from a number of positions in the full FOV need to be separated. These positions form a Cartesian grid corresponding to the size of the reduced FOV.
The advantages are especially true for contrast-enhanced MR imaging such as dynamic liver MRI (liver imaging) , 3 dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (3D MRA), and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP).
The excellent scan speed of SENSE allows for acquisition of two separate sets of hepatic MR images within the time regarded as the hepatic arterial-phase (double arterial-phase technique) as well as that of multidetector CT.
SENSE can also increase the time efficiency of spatial signal encoding in 3D MRA. With SENSE, even ultrafast (sub second) 4D MRA can be realized.
For MRCP acquisition, high-resolution 3D MRCP images can be constantly provided by SENSE. This is because SENSE resolves the presence of the severe motion artifacts due to longer acquisition time. Longer acquisition time, which results in diminishing image quality, is the greatest problem for 3D MRCP imaging.
In addition, SENSE reduces the train of gradient echoes in combination with a faster k-space traversal per unit time, thereby dramatically improving the image quality of single shot echo planar imaging (i.e. T2 weighted, diffusion weighted imaging).

A surface coil is essentially a loop of conducting material, such as copper tubing. The in-bore solenoidal sending coil is used as the transmitter of RF energy. This type of receiver coil is placed directly on or over the region of interest for increased magnetic sensitivity. The loop may form various shapes and be bent slightly to conform to the imaged body part. Surface coils have a good SNR for tissues adjacent to the coil and because the signal decrease with the distance, an eligibility homogeneity correction will equalize this over the field of view. A rule of thumb for surface coils is that the sensitivity decreases appreciably beyond a distance equal to the diameter of the coil.
The positioning of the coil is an important determinant of performance. As only the region close to the surface coil will contribute to the signal, there is an improvement in the SNR for these regions, compared to the use of receiver coils that surround the appropriate part of the body. These coils are specifically designed for localized body regions, and provide improved signal to noise ratios by limiting the spatial extent of the excitation or reception.

5 Gauss LimitMRI Resource Directory:
 - Safety -
 
The national regulatory boards decided to limit the threshold for access to MRI areas to 5 gauss.
mri safety guidance
MRI Safety Guidance
It is of special interest for the observer of bureaucratic procedures that the 5 gauss safety limit is ten times higher than the average earth magnetic field, but lower than the magnetic field in electric trains such as subways (up to 7 gauss). For example, the fields measured on the surface of the receiver of a telephone are 35 gauss and of an audio headset 100 gauss.
