Custom Parallel Imaging Arrays Models NMSC-010/011 Features: Provided as independent coils or groups of gapped elements enclosed in flexible cases Ultra-low Impedance Nova Medical Preamplifiers allow excellent element-element isolation despite the presence of mutual inductive coupling Available as 4, 8, or 16 element versions for Cardiac (NMSC010) or Neuro (NMSC011) studies Compatible with GE or Siemens MRI scanners Description: The NMSC-010/011 Parallel Imaging arrays are state-of-the art coils designed specifically for high acceleration rate parallel imaging studies. Using gapped elements placement, matrix singularities associated with conventional overlapped arrays are reduced allowing improved SENSE g factors. Using unique Nova Medical NMP-1 decoupling preamplifiers, excellent element-element isolation is achieved despite the presence of significant mutual inductive coupling between elements. Provided as a custom array of 4, 8, or 16 elements, these coils can be provided as separate independent elements or groups enclosed in flexible cases. Extensive cable traps and baluns are used to provide minimum interference with transmit operation and improve coil-coil isolation during receive. Several different standard sizes are available, though any custom size can be made to suit an individual requirement. Specifications: Compatibility GE or Siemens 1.5T or 3T Scanners*     Geometry Flexible Rectangular Elements     Coil Type Parallel Imaging Array     Element number 4, 8, or 16 elements     Element size 10x18 cm (Cardiac), 10x10 cm (Neuro)     Detuning Passive + Active PIN diode * Independent element coils not available on Siemens 1.5T scanners, Use on 3T systems without a body coil requires use of a volume transmit coil such as the Nova Medical NM-001A Head Transmit Coil or NM-011 for Siemens Allegra. ** other sizes upon request.
