A small sample was imaged with and without inflation, and the overall signal-to-noise ratio of the sample was improved by 12.7% in dB with inflation. This coil design will offer many opportunities in the field of endorectal imaging, imaging for irregular sample shapes, and reducing motion artifacts. Inflation also changes the tuning and matching conditions, which compensate for loading effects by precisely adjusting the air volume inside the cavity.
