Abstract: An air pressure fixed coil for magnetic resonance imaging has a surface on which an air pressure fixing device is arranged. The air pressure fixing device is in communication with a control switch, that is operable to actuate the air pressure fixing device to generate a negative pressure or to restore a normal air pressure, so that the air pressure fixing device is suctioned and fixed onto an object, or is released from the object. Since the coil is fixed in place by using air pressure, the coil can be fixed onto a patient bed without arranging any fixing structure on the patient bed, and therefore the coil can be positioned and fixed at any place on the patient bed for carrying out a scanning operation according to needs. At the same time, since there is no need to pre-arrange any fixing structure on the patient bed, such as slots, holes etc., the structural strength of the patient bed will not be affected, and the appearance of the patient bed can be kept simple, clean and neat.
