To facilitate in vivo brain imaging of a monkey placed in a stereotactic device, we designed and implemented a unique coil. The coil is a 2-coil array connected in quadrature with the first coil being a 2-turn solenoid and the second being a saddle coil. Numerical methods were used in coil design, and images acquired with the coil show excellent homogeneity and SNR throughout the monkey brain.
