Head coil system and methods

A method of fabricating a head coil system, comprising:

• providing a plurality of portions, providing the plurality of portions comprising providing each portion with a magnetically conductive receiver coil and a frame configured to accommodate the magnetically conductive receiver coil, and providing the plurality of portions comprising providing each portion configured to couple and decouple with another portion of the plurality of portions;
• providing at least one coupling feature configured to at least one of couple, lock, unlock, and decouple at least one portion of the plurality of portions in relation to another at least one portion of the plurality of portions, providing the at least one coupling feature comprising providing a forward coupling feature and providing an aft coupling feature;
• and
• providing a tilting feature configured to dispose at least one portion of the plurality of portions at an angle in relation to a horizontal plane.
