Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a housing for a radiofrequency receive coil for magnetic resonance imaging. The housing is designed for a coil wherein the patient lies on top of the coil in the prone position. The housing includes a base portion, a body portion and at least two wing portions. The base and body portions are generally constructed from a rigid material, while the wing portions are constructed from a flexible material. The wing portions may be connected using a connection strap, that applies tension to the wing portions to flex the wing portions in closer vicinity to the patient's body for optimal imaging.
