Neonatal imaging requires low acoustic noise and SAR. A 32 channel transmit-receive array with an integrated gradient coil set has been developed for use in a neonatal incubator. The coil set was simulated using the Biot-Savart law in 3D using Matlab. The coil was manufactured using PCB technique with wire interconnects. The coil has been interfaced to a 32 channel spectrometer and performance tested in a 1.5T magnet.
