Abstract
A flexible coil device for supporting imaging experiments on subjects, such as small animals. The device has a rigid part where electronics are accommodated and a flexible loop acting as a receiving coil that picks up the imaging signal. The flexible loop allows its shape to be adapted to the particular shape of the imaged subject at the point of placement. This provides a better filling factor and hence better SNR of the region of interest (ROI). This has the advantage that various imaging applications pose less of a compromise than with rigid coils. The flexible loop can be positioned right against the region of interest (ROI) and so maximises the filling factor and the image SNR.
