An ultra-flexible AIR
64-Channel bilateral phased array coil is described for acquiring
high-sensitivity images of the brachial plexus by wrapping coil elements snugly
around the cervical, shoulder, axillary, and arm regions. This coil comprises a foam posterior and flexible flaps
with a low loss malleable conductor optimized for zero reactance. An
exceptionally low noise preamplifier is tolerant of a wide range of loading. This
coil facilitates imaging large fields of view bilateral brachial plexi, as well
as higher resolution unilateral imaging for detailed evaluation of nerve
fascicular architecture and other pathology, thereby optimizing
setup time and patient comfort.
