Graphical Abstract
SUMMARY:
This technical report describes use of a novel, conformable receive-only radiofrequency coil for 3T MR neurography in a cohort of patients with occipital neuralgia. Applying a submillimeter, isotropic 3D double-echo steady-state sequence, detailed visualization of the occipital nerves and associated pathologies could be achieved.
