Sentinelle Medical 3-Channel Biopsy MRI Coil Concept
The 3-channel biopsy coil is a preliminary concept with the aim of incorporating coil loop elements within a biopsy grid, putting them very close to the patient's skin.
Copper conductors are overmolded with polyurethane and glued to half of the enclosure. The ultimate goal was to overmold through injection molding though the concept was never developed to that point.
The conducting elements form part of three overlapping copper loops. A PCB completes these loops.
