Abstract
A coil arrangement for use in a magnetic resonance imaging system, the imaging system being for generating a magnetic imaging field in an imaging region, the coil arrangement including at least three coils for at least one of transmitting, receiving or transceiving an electromagnetic field, each coil being provided on a coil geometry and being substantially orthogonal.

1) A coil arrangement for use in a magnetic resonance imaging system, the imaging system being for generating a magnetic imaging field in an imaging region, the coil arrangement including at least three coils for at least one of transmitting, receiving or transceiving an electromagnetic field, each coil being provided on a coil geometry and being substantially orthogonal.
19) A coil arrangement for use in a magnetic resonance imaging system, the imaging system being for generating a magnetic imaging field in an imaging region, the coil arrangement including:
- a) a coil support;
- and,
- b) at least three coils for at least one of transmitting, receiving or transceiving an electromagnetic field, the coils being supported by the coil support and being substantially orthogonal.
21) A method of determining a coil arrangement for in a magnetic resonance imaging system, the imaging system being for generating a magnetic imaging field in an imaging region, the method including:
- a) determining a coil geometry;
- b) arranging three orthogonal planes so that each of the planes intersects the coil geometry;
- and,
- c) determining a coil arrangement for each of three coils in accordance with an intersection of a respective plane with the coil geometry.
