A 16-channel whole-brain receive coil and 7-channel local receive coil was developed for imaging non-human primates. This coil system will allow for high-resolution imaging of the peripheral cortex with the ability to co-register to a whole-brain image. Performance metrics of the two coil arrays are provided.
