Abstract
A system for magnetic resonance imaging an object is provided. The system includes a plurality of coil element groupings disposed within one or more RF coils, and a controller. The controller is operative to receive MR data from the object via the one or more RF coils, determine a g-factor for each of the coil element groupings of the plurality based at least in part on the MR data, and select a coil element grouping of the plurality based at least in part on the g-factors.

A system for magnetic resonance imaging an object comprising:
- a plurality of coil element groupings disposed within one or more RF coils;
- and
- a controller operative to:
- receive MR data from the object via the one or more RF coils;
- determine a g-factor for each of the coil element groupings of the plurality based at least in part on the MR data;
- and
- select a coil element grouping of the plurality based at least in part on the g-factors.
A method for magnetic resonance imaging an object comprising:
- receiving MR data from an object via one or more RF coils;
- determining, based at least in part on the MR data, a g-factor for each of a plurality of coil element groupings disposed within the one or more RF coils;
- and
- selecting a coil element grouping of the plurality based at least in part on the g-factors.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions configured to adapt a controller to:
- receive MR data from an object via one or more RF coils;
- determine, based at least in part on the MR data, a g-factor for each of a plurality of coil element groupings disposed within the one or more RF coils;
- and
- select a coil element grouping of the plurality based at least in part on the g-factors.
