Precision Fetal Imaging at 1.5T

At InkSpace Imaging, we believe that comfort and clinical excellence should never be mutually exclusive—especially when it comes to your most delicate patients. That’s why we designed the Snuggle 24-channel 1.5T MR Coil to bring you closer to patients of all ages, from full-grown adults to the tiniest patients in utero.


A Closer Look—Literally

In a recent fetal scan at 27 weeks gestation, the Snuggle coil demonstrated its unique ability to deliver high-resolution dynamic imaging without compromising maternal comfort. Using a True FISP sequence on a 1.5 Tesla MRI system, each dynamic image was acquired in just 460 milliseconds with a voxel size of 1.0 mm x 1.0 mm x 6.0 mm and a GRAPPA acceleration factor of 2.0.

The results? Exquisite images with high signal-to-noise ratio, capturing the fine anatomical detail of a moving fetus—something once thought impossible with such speed and clarity at 1.5T.


The Power of Proximity

The Snuggle coil's soft, blanket-like pads don’t just add comfort—they help clinicians get closer to the region of interest. In this case, the mother was able to gently hug the coil around the area of her baby, allowing the densely arranged 24-channel elements to sit in close proximity and optimize signal reception.


Designed for Comfort. Engineered for Precision.

Unlike rigid, traditional coils, the Snuggle adapts to the patient's body and contours. For fetal imaging, this means better positioning and fewer re-scans, enabling you to capture fleeting moments of fetal movement with confidence and speed.


Whether you're scanning neonates, children, or expectant mothers, the Snuggle coil is engineered to support patient-first imaging with clinical-grade performance—no compromises.


Ready to Get Closer to Your Patients?

If you're looking for a coil that delivers on comfort, flexibility, and diagnostic performance, the Snuggle 24-channel coil could be the perfect fit for your practice.
