[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 643714, member: 4728"] Just posting this as a hypothetical for discussion but I was wondering if there may be any benefit in using an elliptical coil sideways. My understanding is that depth capability of an elliptical coil is compromised by the shorter axis with coverage enhanced by the longer axis, Would the reverse occur using it sideways with coverage reduced with the shorter axis at right angles to the sweep direction but depth increased by the longer axis in line with the sweep direction?
