MRI imaging coil elements can include at least one electrical conductor formed from shaped carbon-based nanomaterial, the carbon- based nanomaterial conductor having a ratio of electrical inductive reactance to electrical resistance, over a range of frequencies, that is larger than that of a similarly dimensioned electrical conductor constructed only of metal, and a connector coupled to the first electrical conductor for functionally connecting the imaging coil element to electronic circuitry connecting to a magnetic resonance imaging system. The shape of the carbon-based nanomaterial in at least one of the imaging coil elements formed from carbon-based nanomaterial can be selected from a yarn-like shape, a ribbon-like shape, and a string-like shape. Similarly, the carbon- based nanomaterial in the at least one imaging coil element formed from carbon-based nanomaterial is structured as one of, carbon nanotubes, Buckypaper, and graphene. |
