Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coil for increased quanta gathering is described. An apparatus may comprise an RF receiver coil comprising multiple coil windings. Each coil winding may comprise a compressed cylindrical tube having a defined thickness to form a surface to collect a first quanta of emitted energy. Adjacent coil windings may be spaced apart a defined distance to form coil gaps to allow a second quanta of emitted energy to pass through the coil gaps. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
