Abstract
In order to provide interventional access during an image-guided interventional procedure, while increasing the signal-to-noise ratio for generated images compared to a single loop coil, a local coil includes a single coil element disposed around an opening through the local coil and two coil elements positioned on opposite sides of the single coil element. The opening provides access for an interventional tool used during the image-guided interventional procedure.
