Synopsis

Keywords: Body, Pediatric

Motivation: To evaluate diagnostic image quality of novel 24-channel screen-printed flexible coil array in pediatric body MR at 3T

Goal(s): Whether the diagnostic image quality of novel 24-channel screen-printed flexible coil array in pediatric body MR at 3T is comparable to commercially available coils

Approach: Retrospective case-control study with pediatric patients who underwent clinical body MR exams using either screen-printed coils or commercial coils. A single radiologist reviewed image quality using anonymized randomized image stacks.

Results: A flexible screen-printed pediatric MRI receive coil yielded similar diagnostic image quality to commercial coils on body MRI exams performed in the clinical setting.

Impact: Screen-printed pediatric MRI receive coil yielded comparable diagnostic image quality to commercial coils on body MRI exams performed in the clinical setting on 3T scanners while offering the advantages of comfort, flexibility, and ease of use.
