ABSTRACT:
Flexible, conforming surface coils for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging are disclosed. The coils comprise a flexible outer body with antennas disposed within the body. The coils closely adopt the contours and shapes of the particular part of the patient's body under observation and provide considerable comfort. Since the coils closely conform to the patient, detection of artifacts and aliasing is minimized thus providing highly resolved images of the area of the patient that is being examined. The coils are readily utilized with preexisting NMR magnets and support equipment thereby allowing efficient and cost effective NMR imaging.
