Abstract
A local coil for magnetic resonance imaging is disclosed herein. The local coil includes an electrical circuit arrangement and a coaxial cable with an internal conductor and an external conductor surrounding the internal conductor. The two ends of the coaxial cable are connected to the electrical circuit arrangement and the internal conductor and the external conductor together form an antenna loop. The internal conductor and/or the external conductor has at least one interruption and the at least one interruption divides the internal conductor and/or the external conductor into at least two separate segments in each case.
