Synopsis

Keywords: RF Arrays & Systems, RF Arrays & SystemsA novel flexible and stretchable coil based on the self-decoupling technology is proposed. It can be stretched and bent to match the shape of the human anatomy of interest, exhibiting high SNR. A 4 coil array was built and tested at different stretching (horizontally and vertically), and on different anatomies (torse, thigh, head), showing a strong robustness.
