MRI Head Coil: High-Resolution 3D Imaging & Patient Comfort

Vertex was tasked with developing a specialized MRI Head Coil designed to enhance imaging resolution for accurate 3D diagnostic scans. The engineering focused on integrating additional electromagnetic coils to capture high-fidelity data while addressing the critical factor of patient experience.

Human-Centric Imaging Solutions

To mitigate patient anxiety and claustrophobia, Vertex designers prioritized an open-architecture design that maintains structural stability and imaging quality.

• Open-Front Architecture — Engineered with ample open areas on the front end to reduce the feeling of confinement without interfering with the electromagnetic field.
• Advanced 3D Resolution — Integrated high-performance coil arrays to provide the signal-to-noise ratio required for precision neurological imaging.
• Secure Integrated Mounting — Designed a robust attachment system that secures the coil directly to the MRI bed or chair, ensuring zero movement during high-vibration scanning sequences.
• Ergonomic Support Systems — Developed custom-molded head-support pads to improve patient positioning and comfort throughout the duration of the scan.

By combining technical imaging requirements with empathetic industrial design, Vertex successfully created a coil that improves both diagnostic accuracy and patient compliance. This project highlights our expertise in medical device engineering and human-factors design.
