Abstract
A system and method for performing parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) process using a low-field magnetic resonance imaging (IfMRI) system includes a substrate configured to follow a contour of a portion of a subject to be imaged by the IfMRI system using a pMRI process. A plurality of coils are coupled to the substrate. Each coil in the plurality of coils has a number of turns and an associated decoupling mechanism selected to operate the plurality of coils to effectuate the pMRI process using the IfMRI system.
