FIG 2. Axial FSE T2-weighted images of a cadaver spine obtained at the T4 level (acquisitions, 1; TR/TE/flip angle, 4055.8/100/90°; TSE factor, 14; bandwidth, 144.7 Hz; matrix, 256 x 256 with 70% image; section thickness, 5 mm; spatial resolution, 0.39 mm x 0.39 mm; and FOV, 10 cm with RFOV of 80%) obtained with endospinal coil [left] and surface coil [right]). Arrow denotes artifact from the endospinal coil. Although the image obtained with endospinal coil has smaller usable FOV, there is greater calculated SNR of the spinal cord.
