Abstract:
A method of making a magnetic resonance catheter coil comprising:providing a flexible circuit board having a first outer surface;forming electrically conductive material on said first outer surface of said circuit board into a first coil element having a length and a width;forming electrically conductive material on said first outer surface of said circuit board into a second coil element, said second coil element having a length and a width and positioned substantially parallel to, and a distance from, said first coil element;forming electrically conductive material on said first outer surface of said circuit board to form a connector portion joining said first coil element and said second coil element, the combination of said first coil element and said second coil element and said connector portion constituting a first magnetic resonance coil; andcovering said magnetic resonance coil and said circuit board to provide said magnetic resonance catheter coil.
