A fully customized 32-channel receive array has been designed, fabricated and evaluated using MR experiments at 7T. The design is made of non-geometrically decoupled loops arranged in two layers of large and small loops. Copper loops are 3D printed from additive manufacturing, preamplifiers are home-built, and an easy implementation procedure is proposed. Receive array performances shows SNR comparable to the Nova Medical reference coil while being superior at the top of the coil and for parallel imaging accelerated in the vertical direction.
