Expanding lateral coverage in pediatric MRI with the Snuggle 24-Channel 3T Coil

Pediatric radiology presents unique challenges, particularly when it comes to achieving high-quality images while ensuring patient comfort. The Snuggle 24-channel 3T MR coil is designed to address these challenges, offering flexible pad placement for optimal imaging coverage.

Flexible Coil Configuration for Enhanced Imaging

The Snuggle coil features adjustable pad positioning, allowing placement in either the left/right or superior/inferior direction to provide additional lateral coverage in pediatric MRI scans when needed. This adaptability ensures comprehensive imaging across different pediatric anatomies and clinical requirements.

Additionally, the Snuggle is fully compatible with conventional vendor coils, including under-table coil elements, which can be simultaneously activated for enhanced posterior coverage. This seamless integration improves image quality while maintaining workflow efficiency for radiologists and MRI technologists.

Clinical Application: Pediatric Imaging Case Study

A recent scan of a 5-year-old patient highlights the Snuggle coil’s versatility in pediatric body imaging. For this case, two Snuggle pads were placed anteriorly and adjacent in the superior/inferior direction, while multiple sections of the under-table coil were simultaneously activated for posterior signal reception.

The result? High-resolution imaging with exceptional clarity, made possible by optimized coil positioning and advanced deep-learning image reconstruction.

Voxel sizes for the images:

• Coronal T2 FS: 1.1 mm x 1.1 mm x 4.0 mm

• Axial T2 FS: 0.9 mm x 0.9 mm x 3.5 mm

• Sagittal FSEIR (Deep Learning Reconstruction): 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm x 3.5 mm

Why Choose the Snuggle 24-Channel 3T Coil?

• Adaptive pad placement for superior lateral coverage

• Seamless compatibility with existing vendor coils

• Optimized imaging quality with deep learning reconstruction

• Comfort-focused design for pediatric patients

The Snuggle 24-channel 3T MR coil redefines pediatric imaging by providing customizable coverage, high-quality imaging, and integration with existing MRI systems.
