filling factor

Etymology: AS, fyllan, filling; L, factor, a maker

a measure of the geometric relationship between a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging coil and the body. This relationship affects the MR signal-to-noise ratio and, ultimately, image quality. Achieving a high filling factor requires fitting the coil closely to the body, thus potentially decreasing patient comfort.
