  Resonant inductive coupling is commonly seen as an undesired fundamental
phenomenon emergent in densely packed resonant structures, such as nuclear
magnetic resonance phased array detectors. The need to mitigate coupling
imposes rigid constraints on the detector design, impeding performance and
limiting the scope of magnetic resonance experiments. Here we introduce a high
impedance detector design, which can cloak itself from electrodynamic
interactions with neighboring elements. We verify experimentally that the high
impedance detectors do not suffer from signal-to-noise degradation mechanisms
observed with traditional low impedance elements. Using this new-found
robustness, we demonstrate an adaptive wearable detector array for magnetic
resonance imaging of the hand. The unique properties of the detector glove
reveal new pathways to study the biomechanics of soft tissues, and exemplify
the enabling potential of high-impedance detectors for a wide range of
demanding applications that are not well suited to traditional coil designs.
