  • MRI systems and RF transmit antenna arrangement including a coaxial cable with an electrically conductive core and an electrically conductive outer shield
    Patent number: 11585878
    Abstract: An MRI system RF transmit antenna arrangement 3 including an antenna 5 including a length of coaxial cable 51 with an electrically conductive core 52 and an electrically conductive outer shield 53 through which the core runs, with the core having a feed point 52a arranged for electrical connection to an RF source and at least one break 53a being provided in the electrically conductive outer shield partway along the length of coaxial cable so as to divide the electrically conductive outer shield 53 into at least two axially spaced shield portions such that at least one of the shield portions acts as a radiating element when an RF source is connected to the feed point 52a.
