  • Patent number: 11630173
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for radio frequency coil units for magnetic resonance imaging. In one example, a radio frequency (RF) coil unit for magnetic resonance imaging (MM) includes an outer layer forming an exterior of the RF coil unit, a pressure reservoir enclosed by the outer layer, wherein the pressure reservoir forms a sealed chamber, and an array of RF coil elements enclosed by the outer layer, wherein the array of RF coil elements is disposed outside of the sealed chamber of the pressure reservoir.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11280858
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a flexible, lightweight, and low-cost radio frequency (RF) coil of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. In one example, a RF coil assembly for an MRI system includes a distributed capacitance loop portion comprising two parallel conductor wires encapsulated and separated by a dielectric material, the two parallel conductor wires maintained separate by the dielectric material along an entire length of the loop portion between terminating ends thereof, a coupling electronics portion including a pre-amplifier, and a coil-interfacing cable extending between the coupling electronics portion and an interfacing connector of the RF coil assembly.
