14.11 Conclusion
In the current state of the art, coil arrays must be compatible with parallel-imaging methods. The speed-up factor and directions required are specific for the application. Dynamic studies have the greatest need for parallel imaging, as these studies can result in significantly improved results because of the shorter acquisition times. Virtually all manufacturers provide up to 32 channels on their high-end systems, and coil arrays to utilize these abilities are rapidly becoming available. These technological improvements are driven by the need for faster, better exams and improved patient throughput.
