A compact 10-channel receive array for neonatal abdomen
and chest MRI was developed to enable parallel imaging
on a small-footprint 1.5 Tesla superconducting NICU
MR-system. The development of the receive array also
necessitated the creation of a transmit-only birdcage
coil. Coil performance of the phased array was evaluated
electrically and on phantoms with clinical imaging
protocols.
