An optimized MRI RF coil for integration with in-bore therapy or biopsy system is discussed. The RF coil is optimally designed into an open Ω shape to allow a much bigger room for therapy or biopsy system. Horizontal rails as well as coil support brackets are integrated with body coil. Such that, the in-bore treatment system can have bigger space and more power. The optimized design also separated HIFU or SWL sub-assembly from high voltage RF parts, which reduces EMI between those two, and safety issue due to liquid leakage from HIFU or SWL sub-assembly is also greatly reduced.
