We illustrate the evolution of a previously featured
32-channel pediatric suite coil system. The system now
comprises (up to) 80 multiplexed elements: a
multi-degree of freedom adjustable 28 element head coil;
a 28 element uniform posterior array in a rigid base;
and a two-part foamed anterior array consisting of 2
subplates/subarrays - each subarray consisting of either
12 or 16 (uniform) elements. The system gives superior
SNR performance and parity acceleration factor relative
to extant adult-based systems. The mechanical and
aesthetic design has matured, yielding a product that
adroitly enhances the workflow and patient experience
for the 0-to-5 year population.
