In this work, we aimed to increase the throughput of ex
vivo samples during overnight unattended sessions by
designing a coil and setup accommodating up to eight
whole mouse heads. Using our single channel MRI
installation equipped with a gradient insert with a
60-mm diameter spherical volume (DSV), we considered a
design based on the use of commonly accessible off-the
shelf supplies and ease of sample preparation. Among the
various structures examined, a dual litz structure
electrically-fed through the mid-point of the rung
proved to be the most electrically balanced and
homogeneous coil throughout the length of the rung.
