Abstract
An implantable bioresorbable radio frequency (RF) coil for high-resolution and high-specificity post-surgical evaluating or monitoring with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is disclosed. The coil includes a bioresorbable conductor configured to be resorbed within a patient while the coil is implanted in the patient. In one embodiment, the target application of this coil is the evaluation or monitoring (via MRI) of peripheral nerve regeneration following surgical repair.
