Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for producing a rigid, shaped, non-planar radiofrequency coil including: a) placing a number of coil elements selected from one and a desired plurality of coil elements on to a flexible substrate to make a coil; b) laying the coil flat and covering it with foam; c) and subsequently applying the foam covered coil to a first mechanical former capable of holding the coil rigid in a desired configuration.
