An inflatable coil positioning device (10) in- cludes a coil (38), a first inflatable sleeve (12) dis- posed radially about the coil (38) and a second inflat- able sleeve (14) disposed radially within the coil (38). The first inflatable sleeve (12) and the second inflat- able sleeve (14) each include at least two sections. The coil (38) is placed about a target section (22) of the patient to be imaged. The second inflatable sleeve (14) is inflated until the coil (38) is securely mounted on the target section (22). The mounted coil (38) and target section of the patient are then placed within a predetermined section of a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging magnet (24). The first inflatable sleeve (12) is inflated until the mounted coil (38) and target section (22) of the patient are securely retained within the predetermined section of the magnet (24).

Un dispositif gonflable (10) de positionnement de l'antenne comprend une antenne (38), un premier manchon gonflable (12) disposé radialement autour de l'antenne (38) et un deuxième manchon gonflable (14) disposé radialement à l'intérieur de l'antenne (38). Le premier manchon gonflable (12) et le deuxième manchon gonflable (14) comprennent chacun au moins deux sections. L'antenne (38) est placée autour d'une région cible (22) du patient faisant objet de l'imagerie. Le deuxième manchon gonflable (14) est gonflé jusqu'à ce que l'antenne (38) soit fixée sur la région cible (22). L'antenne (38) montée et la région cible du patient sont ensuite placées dans une section prédéterminée d'un aimant (24) d'imagerie par résonance magnétique nucléaire. Le premier manchon gonflable (12) est gonflé jusqu'à ce que l'antenne montée (38) et la région cible (22) du patient soient maintenues de manière sûre à l'intérieur de la section prédéterminée de l'aimant (24).
