The parallel acquisition of brain images is standard
nowadays. A wide range of coils offering specialized
solutions to problems in clinical diagnosis, preclinical
science and research already exists but to proceed with
the imaging of the human brain for the Human Connectome
Project a 60 Channel Receive Array Coil for ex-vivo
brainslices at 3 Tesla was constructed. This coil was
developed for research purposes only, but other
applications, especially in pathology or clinical
applications, are possible out of the design.
