Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an MR coil system minimizing design and manufacturing time of surface coil arrays, coping with occupied area, performance and ergonomic problems, and realizing flexibility for evolving in step with future MR scanning systems. SOLUTION: An MR coil array is composed of a plurality of circuits having a conductive trace mounted on a substrate, each of the circuits adapted to generate a signal; and means in each substrate for attaching and aligning at least two of the circuits to one another. The means for attaching and aligning the circuits are holes or openings formed in the substrates, designed to mate with corresponding holes or openings in the other substrates. In a preferred embodiment, the coil array also includes means disposed in each of the circuits for pre-amplifying the signs. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
