A novel wearable and stretchable single loop breast coil made from conductive thread is introduced with a coil geometry which can expand and retract in accordance with the breast while preserving good quality factor. Images of both the small phantom and the medium phantom could be acquired by S-M coil. Similarly, M-L breast coil was used to obtain the images of both the medium phantom and the large phantom. Highest SNR was obtained when small phantom was imaged using S-M coil and the lowest SNR was obtained with large phantom when it was imaged using M-L coil.
