In order to increase both coil setting efficiency and coil sensitivity, a size-adaptable tight-fit 16ch head array which enables one-action-fixation was investigated at 3 T. The anterior part of the head array is a flexible coil, and can fit to the patient when the fixation belt is tightened. SNR increased by 1.2-1.4 times across 1-99 percentile adult head sized phantoms against a conventional 15ch rigid head coil. SNR improvement could also be seen in vivo with a healthy volunteer.
