  • FIELD MODIFICATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20230280424
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for a field modification device for modifying a transmission field (Tx) and/or a receive field (Rx) used by an MR system are provided. The field modification device comprises a plurality of resonator elements being inducible by the transmission field and/or the receive field to resonate, thereby modifying the transmission field and/or the receive field, respectively, wherein a respective resonance frequency and/or resonance phase of a respective resonator element and/or of a respective group of resonator elements is individually controllable. The field modification device further comprises a device controller configured to individually control the respective resonance frequency and/or resonance phase of the respective resonator element and/or of the respective group of resonator elements .
