Abstract: In order to provide an RF coil for effective imaging from a vertex to an upper T spine, a coil surrounding a forehead portion of an imaging object, a coil surrounding a nose portion over the protuberance of the nose, a coil surrounding the neck, and a coil holding the upper T spine, are integrally molded to construct a coil assembly which can be separated into front and rear parts.

Abstract: In order to provide a good frequency property and good openness of a magnetic field space, there is provided a quadrature RF coil and RF magnetic field generating apparatus that comprises two RF coils facing each other, each of the RF coils comprising an annular closed loop 602 and a plurality of radial electric paths 604 inside the closed loop 602, and generates an RF magnetic field by quadrature-driving the two RF coils, and a magnetic, resonance imaging method and apparatus employing such an RF magnetic field generating apparatus.

Abstract: In order to generate an RF magnetic field efficiently, an RF coil is used comprising electric paths 612 carrying electric current for generating the RF magnetic field within a space containing a subject, and an annular electric path 614 located farther from the subject than the electric paths 612 from the subject, for linking respective ends of the electric paths 612.

Abstract: In order to acquire MR data with respect to a wider area of the subject to be examined at a higher SNR by positioning RF coil for once, an MRI apparatus is provided, which comprises a stage for mounting a subject to be examined, a magnetostatic coil for generating a magnetostatic field, partial each having narrower sensitivity area than a uniform static field and juxtaposed along with the direction of body axis of the subject, a stage movement controller unit for moving the stage so as to include the sensitivity area of one of partial coils in the uniform magnetostatic field to receive NMR signals and for thereafter repeating moving the stage again so as to include another one of partial coils into the uniform magnetostatic field, a coil switching controller unit selectively connecting one among partial coils of which the sensitivity area is included in the uniform magnetostatic field, a computer for generating an MR image based on the MR data, and for synthesize each of MR image by corresponding to the locat

Abstract: In order to provide a quadrature RF coil having a good frequency property, and a magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus employing such an RF coil, in combining two coil loops comprising main paths 602, 604 (612, 614) connected in series via tie paths 606, 608 (616, 618) with the main paths 602, 604 (612, 614) orthogonally crossed, the tie paths 606, 608 (616, 618) are made not to overlap one another.
