The squirrel monkey has similar functional and
microstructural organization of the central nervous
system of humans. Therefore it holds the potential to
provide guidance for further explorations into the brain
structure and function especially if investigated at
ultrahigh magnetic field strengths. However, the
dimensions of the preclinical MR systems, the size of
the squirrel monkeys head and the necessary animal
handling present considerable constraints for the RF
coil desing. Accepting this challenge, this work
presents a design and first results of a dedicated RF
coil with a large inner diameter and a thin wall for MR
imaging at 11.7 T.
