Multiple relaxation quantitative maps can be obtained from a single scan with synthetic MRI. Previous researches have investigated this technique in lumbar spine applications, but coil selection, which may introduce bias into the quantitative data, has not been taken into account. In this study, we compared the measured quantitative parameters (T1, T2, and PD) using three coils separately and evaluated data reliability and repeatability. Coil selection contributes to differences in measurements of lumbar spine synthetic MRI, which should be concerned in future studies.
