Coil harness assembly for interventional MRI application

An MRI coil assembly comprising:

• a harness including a base, first and second spaced apart arm members extending from a first side portion of said base and above and over said base, third and fourth spaced apart arm members extending from a second side portion of said base and above and over said base, a first cross member extending between said first arm member and said second arm member, and a second cross member extending between said third arm member and said fourth arm member, wherein said first arm member is aligned with and detachably connected to said third arm member, and wherein said second arm member is aligned with and detachably connected to said fourth arm member;
• a first coil member extending along said harness and including a common segment extending along said base, a first wing segment extending from said common segment, along said first arm member to and along said first cross member, and along said second arm member back to said common segment, and a second wing segment extending from said common segment, along said third arm member to and along said second cross member, and along said fourth arm member back to said common segment;
• and
• a second coil member extending along said harness and including at least first and second loops, said first loop extending generally along said first arm member and said third arm member and said second loop extending generally along said second arm member and said fourth arm member, said first and second loops being electrically connected.
