A 3 Tesla 8-channel receive phased array for small
anatomical features is presented in this abstract. The
array uses a novel coil design integrating a balun into
each coil element. Coupling and matching was assessed
through network analysis. High-resolution imaging
experiments were performed on a phantom and human
fingers confirming high image quality and proof of
concept.
