Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided for radio frequency coil units for magnetic resonance imaging. In one example, a radio frequency (RF) coil unit for magnetic resonance imaging (MM) includes an outer layer forming an exterior of the RF coil unit, a pressure reservoir enclosed by the outer layer, wherein the pressure reservoir forms a sealed chamber, and an array of RF coil elements enclosed by the outer layer, wherein the array of RF coil elements is disposed outside of the sealed chamber of the pressure reservoir.
