    Abstract: A system is described for emitting a radiofrequency field for a magnetic resonance imaging device, including a volumetric antenna that emits a radiofrequency field, a device for homogenizing the radiofrequency field arranged between said volume antenna and a part of the body to be imaged. The device may include a first continuous metal track with an overall length of approximately 0.5 to approximately 1.5 times said wavelength of the radio frequency field. The first metallic track may occupy a surface with a largest dimension ranging between approximately 5% and approximately 15% of said wavelength of the radio frequency field. The first metal track is arranged in a pattern including a plane of symmetry that is normal to the electrical component of the radio frequency field, so as to give the device an electric dipole property including a natural frequency strictly greater than the frequency of the radio frequency field.
