ABSTRACT:
A shoulder coil of the present invention includes a generally ring-shaped transverse housing oriented in a vertical plane with a parallel wound solenoid supported therein. Annular anterior and posterior housings are mounted diametric on said transverse housing and perpendicularly thereto, and have antenna loops supported therein. The anterior and posterior housings are preferably mounted in planes which diverge downwardly at an angle of approximately 30.degree. from parallel to one another. The transverse housing is a generally cylindrical shaped strap having opposite side edges, with the lower half of the transverse housing folded such that the side edges are abutting to form a joined edge. The anterior, posterior, and transverse housing are preferably formed of a resilient semi-flexible plastic material with the loop antennas and solenoid embedded therein such that the housings may be manipulated and formed to provide a garment-like fit on the shoulder of a patient.
