ID Coil was approached by Philips to develop the 7T Body Array Coil. This project represents a remarkable milestone in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Developed in collaboration with Philips, this cutting-edge coil enables high-resolution imaging of vital organs such as the liver, prostate, and heart on a 7T MR scanner. By seamlessly integrating advanced technology, this innovation holds the promise of enhancing diagnostic accuracy and improving patient care across various medical fields.
The 7T Body Array Coil exemplifies ID Coil’s commitment as a partner in pushing the boundaries of MR technology, ultimately benefiting both healthcare professionals and the patients they serve.
The 7T Body Array Coil by ID Coil offers exceptional imaging capabilities. With eight transmit channels and an impressive 32 receive channels, it ensures superior diagnostic precision. Weighing approximately 2 kg, this coil is remarkably lightweight and offers ease of use through separate application to the anterior and posterior regions.
How it works| Connector | The connector between the MRI scanner and the RF signal processing unit (patient – MR). |
|---|---|
| Interface box | Processing of the RF signals: switching between transmit and receive, coil identification etc. |
| MRI coil | The MRI coil is responsible for transmitting and/or receiving RF signals. |
32 receive channels: 16 receive channels for both the anterior and the posterior coil.
The coil is safe according to tests (SAR-safe).
Fits a body with a circumference of at least 700 mm and a maximum weight of 150 kg.
The coil weighs about 2 kg.
Foam-padded components for patient comfort.
Anterior and posterior coil are applied separately for ease of use.
All pre-system and system tests on the 7T Body Array Coil have been meticulously conducted, including extensive safety tests to ensure no local heating issues (SAR) occur.
After the official release of the 7T Body Array Coil by Philips Medical Systems Best, the coil is shipped to the end user, where it is currently being used in several studies.
