Abstract
RF coils for a nuclear magnetic resonance device having following features separated or combined at an intersecting portion of two conductive loops disposed so that sensitive directions thereof are substantially perpendicular to a direction of a static magnetic field and that the conductive loops intersect each other with a predetermined interval; (1) conductors of conductive loops are narrowed; (2) neighborhood of intersecting portion is grounded; and (3) a member having a small dielectric constant is put inside of an intersecting portion.
Claims21
RF coils for a nuclear magnetic resonance device having two conductive loops disposed so that sensitive directions thereof are substantially perpendicular to a direction of a static magnetic field and that said conductive loops intersect each other with a predetermined interval, in which said conductive loops have a small area at an intersecting portion where they are opposite to each other by a fact that a width of conductors is reduced, whereby parasitic capacitance at said intersecting portion is small so that coupling between said conductive loops is reduced.
RF coils for a nuclear magnetic resonance device having:
- two conductive loops disposed so that sensitive directions thereof are substantially perpendicular to a direction of a static magnetic field;
- and
- connecting points in a neighborhood of an intersecting portion where they are opposite to each other, with which an input or output signal line is connected, said connecting points being grounded;
- whereby potential of said intersecting portion is close to ground potential and as the result coupling between said two coils is reduced.
RF coils for a nuclear magnetic resonance device having two conductive loops disposed so that sensitive directions thereof are substantially perpendicular to a direction of a static magnetic field and that said intersecting portion includes a member having a small dielectric constant is put at an intersecting portion between said two conductive loops so as to maintain an interval at said intersecting portion, whereby parasitic capacitance at said intersecting portion is small so that coupling between said conductive loops is reduced.
