Abstract
A flexible radiofrequency receiving coil array. The flexible radiofrequency receiving coil array is provided on a flexible panel and comprises several rows of coil units. Adjacent two rows of coil units in the several rows of coil units are alternately arranged. Preamplifiers are provided in the coil units. In the flexible radiofrequency receiving coil array, two preamplifiers in adjacent two coil units are provided on a same preamplifier mounting plate on the flexible panel, where multiple preamplifier mounting plates are provided on the flexible panel, and the preamplifier mounting plates of different columns and rows are linearly arranged. The flexible radiofrequency receiving coil array effectively reduces the distribution density of the preamplifiers, ensures the flexibility and maximum degree of distension of the coil array, and improves the fit of the coil array to the human body, thus increasing image signal-to-noise ration and image quality.
