Simultaneous assessment of the brain and the cervical spinal cord is of great importance in clinical decision making in areas such as head & neck cancer, traumatic injury, multiple sclerosis or stroke. The small diameter of the cervical spinal cord necessitates high spatial resolution, so there is a growing need to provide 7T simultaneous head and cervical spinal cord imaging, to greatly benefit from increased signal-to-noise ratio and contrast at ultrahigh field. In this work, we developed a 7T 16ch transceiver array that is capable for simultaneous and high-resolution brain and cervical spinal cord imaging.
