Abstract
An RF coil is the first component in the MRI scanner receiver chain. This component therefore defines signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and influences image quality. The ultimate goal of MRI development has always been to increase SNR. As the name indicates, SNR increase can be achieved by increasing the signal level and by decreasing the noise. The majority of efforts in the history of MRI development have been focused on increasing the signal. This is the reason typical MRI scans often rely on close-fitting coils. From a usability perspective and for the comfort of the patient it is beneficial to eliminate close-fitting RF coils1 and make them virtually invisible by integrating them into the scanner bore. In this work, this approach is studied, and a prototype of an integrated coil is developed.
