We demonstrated the ability to approach the uiSNR at 10.5T over the human brain with a novel, high channel count array, achieving large SNR gains over 7T, currently the most commonly employed ultrahigh field platform, and demonstrate high resolution and high contrast anatomical and functional imaging at 10.5T.
