  • Expandable apparatus for detecting RF signals and related method
    Patent number: 11656302
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting RF signals in magnetic resonance testing procedure includes a multidirectional stretchable fabric and a flexible radio frequency (RF) coil. The flexible RF coil has a coil shape, and comprises conductive fiber stitched into the stretchable fabric in a plurality of repeating, non-linear stitch patterns. The plurality of stitch patterns collectively define the coil shape.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 23, 2023
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Joseph Vincent Rispoli, Jana M. Vincent
  • RADIO-FREQUENCY COIL ASSEMBLIES OF A MAGNETIC RESONANCE SYSTEM AND ASSEMBLING METHODS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20230133077
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) coil assembly for a magnetic resonance (MR) system is provided. The RF coil assembly includes an RF coil array and a substrate assembly. The RF coil array includes one or more RF coils each RF coil including a coil loop that includes a wire conductor, the wire conductor formed into the coil loop. The substrate assembly includes a first substrate layer and a second substrate layer, wherein the first substrate layer is coupled with the second substrate layer at seams without a separately-provided fastening mechanism, wherein the RF coil array is positioned between the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer.

  • Contoured radio frequency coil assemblies for a magnetic resonance system
    Patent number: 11519980
    Abstract: A supine torso radio frequency (RF) coil assembly for a magnetic resonance (MR) system is provided. The RF coil assembly includes an RF coil array and a lining. The RF coil array includes a plurality of RF coils each RF coil including a coil loop that includes a wire conductor, the wire conductor formed into the coil loop and a coupling electronics portion coupled to the coil loop. The plurality of RF coils form into a contoured portion, the contoured portion sized to receive at least part of a breast of a subject therein. The lining includes a contoured portion. The RF coil array is coupled to and distributed on the lining, the contoured portion of the RF coil array covering and conforming with the contoured portion of the lining.
