Peripheral nerve stimulation characteristics of an asymmetric head‐only gradient coil compatible with a high‐channel‐count receiver array

Abstract

Measured PNS characteristics of asymmetric head-only gradient coil prototypes indicate that such coils, especially in the A/P direction, can be used for fast EPI readout in high-performance neuroimaging scans with substantially reduced PNS concerns compared with conventional whole body gradient coils.
