Abstract
An inflatable coil positioning device includes a coil, a first inflatable sleeve disposed radially about the coil and a second inflatable sleeve disposed radially within the coil. The first inflatable sleeve and the second inflatable sleeve each include at least two sections. The coil is placed about a target section of the patient to be imaged. The second inflatable sleeve is inflated until the coil is securely mounted on the target section. The mounted coil and target section of the patient are then placed within a predetermined section of a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging magnet. The first inflatable sleeve is inflated until the mounted coil and target section of the patient are securely retained within the predetermined section of the magnet.
