Abstract
The invention relates to a magnetic resonance coil device comprising a flexible array () with multiple magnetic resonance receive coils (). According to the invention, a magnetic resonance coil device for a magnetic resonance system is provided, comprising an array () with multiple magnetic resonance receive coils () which are configured for receiving a magnetic resonance radiofrequency signal, and two outer layers (), wherein the magnetic resonance receive coils () are arranged between the outer layers () in such a way that at least some of the magnetic resonance receive coils () each partly overlap with at least one other neighboring magnetic resonance receive coil () so that respective overlapping regions between two respective neighboring magnetic resonance receive coils () are formed, wherein within at least some of these overlapping regions at least one spacer () is arranged, respectively, and wherein at least one of the outer layers is flexible. In this way, a versatile magnetic resonance coil device for a magnetic resonance system with an array () of multiple magnetic resonance receive coils () is provided which can be easily adapted to the shape of different parts of the human body.
