  • Publication number: 20240374141
    Abstract: A dental coil comprises a first element and a second element. The first element is composed of a dimensionally stable material and has a recess that is configured to receive at least one of a mouth region or a nose region of a patient when the dental coil is positioned on the jaw region of the patient during use. The second element has a flexible element that is configured to allow the flexible element to take the shape of the jaw region of the patient. The first element and the second element have an antenna configured to receive high-frequency signals in a frequency and power range of a magnetic resonance measurement.

  • Patent number: 8843192
    Abstract: A breast coil arrangement for magnetic resonance applications has a placement web that allows an examination subject to lie with her sternum on the placement web with each breast in a receptacle respectively on opposite sides of the placement web. The breast receptacles have limiting elements whose spacing from one another can be adjusted. Multiple array coils are respectively arranged in the limiting elements and are stationary relative to the limiting elements. Each breast receptacle is surrounded by a volume coil that is stationary relative to the placement web. The volume coils are arranged centrally and orthogonally relative to the array coils and surround the array coils. The volume coils are decoupled from the array coils. A spectroscopy phantom can be arranged in proximity to the placement web.

  • Publication number: 20100099978
    Abstract: A breast coil arrangement for magnetic resonance applications has a placement web that is designed to allow an examination subject to lie with her sternum on the placement web. Pot-like breast receptacles for each breast of the examination subject are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the placement web.

Multiple array coils are respectively arranged in the limiting elements and are stationary relative to the limiting elements. Each breast receptacle is surrounded by a volume coil that is stationary relative to the placement web.
