  • Patent number: 6728570
    Abstract: A radio frequency coil for a magnetic resonance image apparatus includes a first support frame provided with a first coil, a second support frame opposing the first support frame and provided with a second coil, a gap adjuster for adjusting a gap between the first and second support frames according to the size of a specimen, and a frequency sustainer for sustaining a resonance frequency set according to change of the gap. The magnetic resonance image apparatus adopting the radio frequency coil alleviates impatience of a patient, to thereby enable rejection of patients with respect to the magnetic resonance image apparatus to be solved. Also, the magnetic resonance image apparatus enables a patient to be imaged and during operation. In addition, the second support frame can be moved to reduce a gap between the first and second support frames to thereby greatly improve quality of an image.
