Abstract：
Wearable sensors are rapidly gaining influence in the diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment of disease, thereby improving patient outcomes. In this review, we aim to explore how these advances can be applied to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We begin by (i) introducing limitations in current flexible/stretchable RF coils and then move to the broader field of flexible sensor technology to identify translatable technologies. To this goal, we discuss (ii) emerging materials currently used for sensor substrates, (iii) stretchable conductive materials, (iv) pairing and matching of conductors with substrates, and (v) implementation of lumped elements such as capacitors. Applicable (vi) fabrication methods are presented, and the review concludes with a brief commentary on (vii) the implementation of the discussed sensor technologies in MRI coil applications. The main takeaway of our research is that a large body of work has led to exciting new sensor innovations allowing for stretchable wearables, but further exploration of materials and manufacturing techniques remains necessary, especially when applied to MRI diagnostics.
摘要：
可穿戴传感器在诊断中迅速获得影响，监测,和疾病的治疗，从而改善患者的预后。在这次审查中,我们的目的是探讨这些进展如何应用于磁共振成像(MRI).我们首先（i）在当前的柔性/可拉伸RF线圈中引入限制，然后转向更广泛的柔性传感器技术领域以识别可平移技术。为了这个目标,我们讨论(Ii)目前用于传感器基板的新兴材料，(iii)可拉伸导电材料，(iv)导体与基板的配对和匹配，和(v)诸如电容器的集总元件的实现。提供了适用的（vi）制造方法，审查最后简要评论了（vii）在MRI线圈应用中讨论的传感器技术的实施。我们研究的主要收获是，大量的工作导致了令人兴奋的新传感器创新，允许可拉伸可穿戴设备，但是仍然需要进一步探索材料和制造技术，尤其是应用于MRI诊断时。
