Abstract
This technical report describes use of a novel, conformable receive-only radiofrequency coil for 3T magnetic resonance (MR) neurography in a cohort of patients with occipital neuralgia. Applying a sub-millimeter, isotropic three-dimensional double-echo steady-state sequence, detailed visualization of the occipital nerves and associated pathologies could be achieved.ABBREVIATIONS: ABC= definition; XYZ= definition. FACE= Flexible Array coil for Cervical and Extraspinal; DESS= double-echo steady-state; C1, C2, C3= First, second, and third cervical vertebrae respectively.
