Abstract
A system for positioning of an RF surface coil to several imaging tables has a table coupling device with first and second sides and table engagement features. The first side has a planar surface to mate with a first imaging table. The second side has a contoured surface having a curvature to mate with a second imaging table. A coil coupling device selectively couples to each of the first and second sides of the table coupling device in respective first and second configurations. The coil coupling device selectively rotates about a rotation axis perpendicular to the first side, and selectively translates along a translation axis perpendicular to the rotation axis. The coil coupling device has one or more coil engagement features to selectively engage the RF surface coil in each of a horizontal position and vertical position of the RF surface coil with respect to the table coupling device.
