Conformal Receiver Coils

Our research focuses on the development of conformal, ultra-thin MRI receiver coils designed to improve imaging quality, patient comfort, and neuroimaging compatibility by integrating novel fabrication methods such as vacuum forming, electroless copper plating, and Twstr coil technology.
