Abstract

The invention concerns to a radio frequency (RF) body coil (), for use in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system, comprising: an RF shield (), an RF coil element (), distantly arranged from the RF shield (), and at least one distance setting element (), arranged and designed in such a way that the relative distance () between the RF shield () and the RF coil element () is adjustable via the distance setting element () which may lead to locally deforming the RF coil element () and/or the RF shield (). Thus, a radio frequency coil for use in an Magnetic Resonance Imaging system is provided that can be tuned to desired resonances in a comfortable and economic way.
