An optimized MRI RF
coil for integration with in-bore therapy or biopsy system is discussed. The RF coil is
optimally designed into an open Ω shape to allow a much bigger room for therapy
or biopsy system. Horizontal rails as well as coil support brackets are
integrated with body coil. Such that, the in-bore treatment system can have
bigger space and more power. The optimized design also separated HIFU or SWL
sub-assembly from
high voltage RF parts, which reduces EMI between those two, and safety issue due to liquid leakage from HIFU or SWL
sub-assembly is
also greatly reduced.
