Abstract

A local coil of an embodiment includes a flat carrier body, at least one ventilation opening, and an antenna array for receiving RF signals in the frequency and power range of a magnetic resonance device. The flat carrier body is made of a reversibly deformable material and is moldable to the patient's shape. An embodiment of the invention further relates to a magnetic resonance system including a magnetic resonance device, a local coil and an electrical connecting cable. A method additionally relates to a method of manufacturing the local coil. A tool is further for use in a manufacturing process of a local coil.
