1. A body coil support structure for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the body coil support structure comprising:
an elongate support member defining an opening passing therethrough, the elongate support member defining an examination axis passing through the opening along a length of the elongate support member, the opening configured to accept an object to be imaged, wherein the elongate support member has a target shape for use during operation of the MRI system, wherein the elongate support member is configured to be subjected to an operational load during operation of the MRI system; wherein, in a design state prior to installation in the MRI system, the elongate support member defines a design shape, wherein the elongate support member is not subjected to the operational load in the design state; and wherein, in an installed state after installation in the MRI system, the elongate support member defines an operational shape, wherein the elongate support member is subjected to the operational load in the installed state, wherein the operational shape is closer to the target shape than is the design shape. |
