Wearable RF receiver coils change their resonance frequency when stretched or bent. We propose a system that detects this change in resonance frequency. The system is integrated on a wearable MRI receiver of 20 x 30mm². The change in resonance frequency can be detected in-field. The detection works by sweeping an excitation current through a frequency range and measuring the frequency response. The frequency response is transmitted via a glass fibre to an out-field signal processing unit. Measurements were conducted using a stretchable liquid metal coil on neoprene.
