A radio frequency apparatus is described herein for facilitating imaging of a patient positioned within a magnetic resonance imaging system comprising a Bmagnet. The radio frequency apparatus may be configured to detect magnetic resonance signals emitted from anatomy of a patient when positioned within a low-field magnetic resonance imaging system, the radio frequency apparatus comprising a flexible substrate capable of being positioned about the anatomy of the patient and a plurality of radio frequency coils coupled to the flexible substrate, each of the plurality of radio frequency coils forming a plurality of turns.

Flexible radio frequency coil apparatus and methods for magnetic resonance imaging

According to some aspects, a magnetic resonance imaging system capable of imaging a patient is provided. The magnetic resonance imaging system comprising at least one B0 magnet to produce a magnetic field to contribute to a B0 magnetic field for the magnetic resonance imaging system and a member configured to engage with a releasable securing mechanism of a radio frequency coil apparatus, the member attached to the magnetic resonance imaging system at a location so that, when the member is engaged with the releasable securing mechanism of the radio frequency coil apparatus, the radio frequency coil apparatus is secured to the magnetic resonance imaging system substantially within an imaging region of the magnetic resonance imaging system.

Methods and apparatus for patient positioning in magnetic resonance imaging

Provided herein are systems, devices, and methods to facilitate imaging an infant using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device. A system for facilitating imaging an infant using an MRI device is provided herein, the system comprising a radio frequency (RF) coil assembly configured to be coupled to the MRI device and comprising a first RF coil configured to transmit RF signals during MRI and/or be responsive to MR signals generated during MRI and a helmet for supporting at least a portion of the infant's head, and an infant support to support at least a portion of the infant's body and configured to be coupled to the RF coil assembly. Further provided is an apparatus for coupling an infant support to an MRI device.

Systems, devices, and methods for magnetic resonance imaging of infants

According to some aspects, a magnetic resonance imaging system capable of imaging a patient is provided. The magnetic resonance imaging system comprising at least one BO magnet to produce a magnetic field to contribute to a BO magnetic field for the magnetic resonance imaging system and a member configured to engage with a releasable securing mechanism of a radio frequency coil apparatus, the member attached to the magnetic resonance imaging system at a location so that, when the member is engaged with the releasable securing mechanism of the radio frequency coil apparatus, the radio frequency coil apparatus is secured to the magnetic resonance imaging system substantially within an imaging region of the magnetic resonance imaging system.
