A 34 element Brain dome resonator was developed for multi dimensional accelerated imaging at 3T. The g factor plots show values close to 1 for accelerations up to 4 in both AP and RL directions and accelerations of up to 2 in the SI direction. Images show that total accelerations of 9 are acceptable even for slice widths down to 1.5mm. The coil allows accelerated imaging of multi oblique planes with accelerations in all 3 directions.
