Optimal performance for neonatal brain imaging requires
the receive coil to be as close fitting as possible, but
this creates challenges for patient handling. Here, we
developed a joint design of a 32 channel neonatal array
and a baby transport and positioning system intended for
examining babies up to 44 weeks at time of scan. The
purpose of this was to implement a system to
consistently gain high image quality in preparation for
the developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP).
