In this study, a multi-purpose flexible antenna, which
consists of a flex cable, a tuning/matching circuit and
a transmission line, was developed for musculoskeletal
MR imaging. The imaging results of shoulder, hand and
wrist have shown the high SNR and satisfied magnetic
field homogeneity of the flexible antenna while the
experimental results of elbow, ankle and knee under
different flexion angles have also demonstrated the high
flexibility, satisfied comfort and large FOV of the
flexible antenna. In the near future, it is believed
that the flexible antenna can be applied for real-time
imaging of joint movement under dynamic situations.
