Estimating the term…
A multi-channel RF transmitter arrangement comprising a plurality of RF transmitter elements (e) like RF antennas, antenna elements, coils or coil elements, for generating an RF field, especially for use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for exciting nuclear magnetic resonances (NMR), and a method for generating such an RF field is disclosed. The RF transmitter elements (e) are segmented in a plurality of segments (s1, s2, s3, . . . ) at least along the direction of the main magnetic field of the MRI system (or the z-direction or the longitudinal direction.
