Figure 5
Changes in the coefficient of signal variation (C v ) with and without (W/o) radiofrequency (RF) shimming for different body types. Also shown is the variation of the differences in Cv values (ΔCv) for different body types – varying body mass indexes (A, B), body surface areas (C, D), and anterior-posterior/right-left ratios (AP/RL) (E, F) are shown. No significant relationship is found between Cv (and ΔCv) and body type, either with or without local RF shimming.
