Abstract: A dielectric resonator is used in a magnetic resonance examination apparatus comprising a magnet system (31, 32) for generating a steady magnetic field in an examination space (2), a transmitter device (12, 13, 18, 28) for generating an RF field to be superposed on the steady magnetic field in an object (30) to be examined, a device for producing a resonance step-up of the RF field active in the object (30) to be examined, and a device for detecting magnetic resonance signals generated in the object (30) to be examined. Stronger B.sub.1 fields are created by at least one dielectric resonator (1, 5, 10, 16, 17, 20, 21) which neighbors the object (24) to be examined and which comprises a dielectric having a relative dielectric constant .epsilon..sub.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high-frequency coil system for a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, which coil system is formed by one or more systems of conductors. The system of conductors includes an outer conductor in which there is arranged a dielectric. Two inner conductors are arranged, in the dielectric. At least one of the inner conductors is displaceable and they are interconnected at least for high-frequency. The system of conductors is tuned or readjusted by displacement of one of the inner conductors.
