A radio frequency (RF) coil array for use with a magnetic resonance system having a rotating main magnetic field B0, the RF coil array comprising at least three separate coils, the coils being electrically isolated from one another, concentrically overlaid to form a stack, and configured to sense magnetization precession in three orthogonal planes.
A radio frequency (RF) coil array for use with a magnetic resonance system having a rotating main magnetic field B0, the RF coil array comprising three electrically conductive coils, the coils being electrically isolated from one another and arranged coaxially to form a stack, the coils being configured such that adjacent coils in the stack have substantially zero mutual inductance, and sense magnetization precession in three orthogonal planes.
A radio frequency coil array comprising an array of coil arrangements, each coil arrangement comprising at least three electrically conductive coils, the coils being electrically isolated from one another and arranged coaxially to form a stack, the coils being configured such that adjacent coils in the stack have substantially zero mutual inductance, and sense magnetization precession in three orthogonal planes.
