Abstract
A coil assembly for use in MRI imaging includes a harness having a base. First and second arm members extend from a first side of the base and above and over the base and third and fourth arm members extend from a second side of the base and above and over the base. A first cross member extends between the first arm member and the second arm member and a second cross member extends between the third arm member and the fourth arm member. An end of the first arm member is aligned with and detachably connected to an end of the third arm member and an end of the second arm member is aligned with and detachably connected to an end of the fourth arm member. First and second coil members each extend along the harness. The first coil member may be a saddle coil and the second coil member may be a solenoid coil configured to establish a quadrature arrangement.
