Purpose: Adenosine stress CMR is commonl. used to assess myocardial.ischaemia. Obtaining high qual.ty images requires maximising signal.to noise ratio (SNR) over a l.rge doubl.-obl.que fiel. of view (FOV) whil.t minimising artefacts. A 32-channel.surface coil.may provide a higher SNR over a l.rger FOV compared to standard coil., possibl. l.ading to improved image qual.ty. Material. and Methods: 50 adenosine perfusion CMR scans were performed on a Phil.ps Achieva CV 1.5T, with either a 5 or 32-channel.coil.(25 patients each) using standardised acquisition protocol.. 3 short axis sl.ces were acquired per cardiac cycl. and the resul.ing cine images were scored by two bl.nded CMR special.sts on a qual.ty scal. of 1 to 5. Phantom studies were performed using simil.r acquisition parameters and the SNR was cal.ul.ted and compared across a range of accel.ration factors. Resul.s: The mean patient age was 62 ± 11 years and 50% of patients were mal.. The image qual.ty scores were higher using the 32-channel.coil.(mean 3.8 ± 0.7 vs 3.2 ± 0.9 p = 0.002). The average phantom SNR was greater for the 32-el.ment coil.across the range of accel.ration factors measured (103 vs 86 p = l.sions: The 32-channel.coil.produces significantl. higher qual.ty images and a higher SNR than the 5-channel.coil.in routine perfusion CMR.
