NMR imaging at very high fields: Issues and theories, results and conjectures

Surface coil MR imaging: utility of image intensity correction filter.

“…involves the use of flat surface coils, the signal-intensity distribution of which is often not uniform [1]. Near-field brightness, which is due to greater coil sensitivity in the near field, is often exacerbated on Ti-weighted images by the presence in the near field of high-signal fat [ To reproduce everyday imaging conditions, the technologists used windowing in the normal way to optimize overall image contrast.…”
