In this study, we evaluated a novel 60-channel coil setup for ultra-fast abdominal imaging using high PAT factors in a phantom, in healthy volunteers and in patients. We found that the 60-channel coil-setup is superior to a conventional 30-channel coil-setup yielding higher SNR and superior image quality and enabling ultra-fast image acquisition with diagnostic image quality.
