Abstract:
Methods for forming flexible magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) receive coil devices having at least one receive coil with at least one capacitor are provided and include providing a flexible substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, forming a first conductor pattern on the first surface by printing a first layer of conductive material on the first surface using a printing mask having a pattern, and forming a second conductor pattern on the second surface by printing a second layer of conductive material on the second surface using the same printing mask or identical printing mask, wherein a portion of the first conductor pattern on the first surface overlaps with a portion of the second conductor pattern on the second surface with the flexible substrate therebetween to form the at least one capacitor element.

Abstract:
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) receiver includes a receiver coil on a substrate. The receiver coil includes one or more capacitors. The construction of the capacitors allows for the use of very flexible substrates and allows the capacitors themselves to be highly flexible. The increased flexibility permits the MRI receiver to be conformed to the body of a patient and accordingly improves the MRI process.
