Abstract
Simultaneous two channel array proton imaging, single voxel PRESS and CSI acquisitions were demonstrated after reconfiguration and minimum hardware modification of a standard 4.7T BioSpec® spectrometer. Validation of the reconfiguration was assessed in phantoms and in a mouse brain. The modified configuration used the X channel exhibiting similar SNR performances compared to the 1H channel. The SNR gain for the two channel array coil was up to 1.3 compared to the SNR obtained with a reference surface coil. Compared to regular two element coil with quadrature combination, the SNR was improved with an additional gain of 1.3. These modifications could also be applied for any X nucleus
