We have developed a system of flexible coils which can
be wrapped closely around a newborn. Because newborns
are often inserted into coils which do not fit well, SNR
is typically worse than it could be. We have printed
flexible coils and packaged them in pairs which can be
attached arbitrarily to a swaddled infant. Swaddling
naturally provides comfort to a baby. A snug fit will
help restrict motion, recoup SNR and enable
acceleration, hopefully one day alleviating the need to
sedate small children who cannot stay still through an
MRI exam.
