A coil, or antenna, positioned within the imaging volume and connected to the receiver circuitry that is used to detect or receive the MR signal from the patient as the disturbed spins relax back into their equilibrium distribution. Also called receive-only coil.
Special-purpose coils are designed to optimize the SNR from a given region of the body. State-of-the-art coil systems include the use of four or more coils with four separate receivers. This method is often referred to as a phased array system. Receiver coil types include also solenoid, planar, volume and quadrature coils. The quality of the MR images depends on the SNR of the acquired signal from the patient. SNR is of the utmost importance in obtaining clear images of the interior of the human body.

A surface coil is essentially a loop of conducting material, such as copper tubing. The in-bore solenoidal sending coil is used as the transmitter of RF energy. This type of receiver coil is placed directly on or over the region of interest for increased magnetic sensitivity. The loop may form various shapes and be bent slightly to conform to the imaged body part. Surface coils have a good SNR for tissues adjacent to the coil and because the signal decrease with the distance, an eligibility homogeneity correction will equalize this over the field of view. A rule of thumb for surface coils is that the sensitivity decreases appreciably beyond a distance equal to the diameter of the coil.
The positioning of the coil is an important determinant of performance. As only the region close to the surface coil will contribute to the signal, there is an improvement in the SNR for these regions, compared to the use of receiver coils that surround the appropriate part of the body. These coils are specifically designed for localized body regions, and provide improved signal to noise ratios by limiting the spatial extent of the excitation or reception.

The body coil is installed in the magnet and functions both as transmit than also as a receiver coil. This coil has a large measurement field, but does not have the high SNR of special coils. When specific receiver only coils are used (the most surface coils), the body coil serves as the transmit coil.
