A local coil unit for acquisition of a magnetic resonance signal of an examination subject, and that can be placed directly on this examination subject, has a deformable section that can be adapted to a contour of the examination subject by a bending mechanism. During acquisition of the magnetic resonance signal, a high signal-to-noise ratio thus can be achieved, which leads to a good image quality. Due to its deformability, the local coil unit is suited for use for sensitive magnetic resonance data acquisition from different examination subjects.
