Figure 1. Patients are placed in supine position on the rolling table platform (left) that is capable of pulling the patient through the magnet bore and a phased-array surface coil (right). The rolling table platform is mounted on top of the original patient table. Signal reception is accomplished by using two elements of the spine coil integrated in the patient table and the body phased-array coil, which remains stationary because it is attached to the patient table within the bore. For demonstration purposes, the phased-array coil is not placed in the center of the magnet.
