A Novel Compact 10-Channel Phased Array for a Dedicated 1.5T Neonate MRI System

A compact 10-channel receive array for neonatal abdomen and chest MRI was developed to enable parallel imaging on a small-footprint 1.5 Tesla superconducting NICU MR-system. The development of the receive array also necessitated the creation of a transmit-only birdcage coil. Coil performance of the phased array was evaluated electrically and on phantoms with clinical imaging protocols.
