The present invention relates generally to the MRI technique. More particularly, the present invention relates to an RF receiver (1) for an MRI system (2). Furthermore the present invention relates to a method of examining an irregular shaped object (6) by means of an MRI system (1). In order to provide a simple and reliable technique for obtaining better image quality in MRI of irregular shaped objects (6), an RF receiver (1) is suggested, the receiver (1) comprising a padding device (3) adapted to be placed on said object (6) in a way that a more regular outer object shape (13) is obtained, said padding device (3) comprising material having magnetic properties similar to the magnetic properties of said object (6), the receiver (1) further comprising a number of receiver elements (5) mounted in or on said padding device (3). |
