A novel transceiver wireless array coil that can be
utilized for robotic assisted MR guided interventions
and radiosurgery procedures was presented. The coil
assembly consists of a posterior unit comprising of
eight channels transceiver array pattern and an anterior
wireless transceiver loop array coil that is inductively
coupled to the posterior part. The coil assembly
generated a high uniform and sensitive B1+ profile over
the entire hear without inhibiting valuable surgical
space and compromising the sterile field. SAR
calculations indicate that the presence of the anterior
wireless transceiver loop array does not alter or
enhance the SAR pattern behavior inside the human head.
