Materials and Methods In addition to the measurement of SNR and Uniformity based on the protocol recommend by AAPM, the images had also been analyzed using SPSS and MATLAB to get the SNR distribution along two vertical direction and the whole imaging plane. Results The SNR with T/R birdcage coil and 8-ch surface coil is seven and twelve times higher than surface coil in the region of interest (ROI), which was set in the center of the phantom images. With regard to the spatial variation of sensitivity, the uniformity of T/R birdcage coil and 8-ch surface coil are also much higher than that of surface coil. Conclusion The images from T/R birdcage and phased array coils are all better than those of surface coil. The SNR of the images from phased array coil is highest while the uniformity of
