Robustness of flexible 7T-MRI coil behaviour

In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the electrical performance of the RF coil is critical to achieve sufficient signal to noise ratio (SNR). In this work, the variation of performance of a plane and a flexible coil over a saline and a humanlike phantom is proposed. In order to evaluate the RF sensitivity of these flexible devices, we performed both an electrical characterization of the coil performances and a MRI simulation on a saline phantom.
