Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) surface coil unit and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system including the same are provided. The RF surface coil unit is a bulk-type RF surface coil, and includes a plurality of RF coil elements formed on a cylindrical-shaped base, wherein at least one pair of the plurality of RF coil elements include facing RF coil elements that are electrically connected to each other and are formed as one channel.
Claims7
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the system comprising:
- a plurality of radio frequency (RF) coils arranged on a cylindrical base, where at least one pair of the plurality of RF coils are respective facing RF coils;
- and
- a conductive layer configured to respectively electrically connect the respective facing RF coils to each other across a first end of the base opposing a second open end of the base,
- wherein the conductive layer forms a loop coil on the first end of the cylindrical base and is configured to apply a uniform magnetic field to an object penetrating the second end.
