Arrangements, systems and methods for facilitating and collecting information associated with fluxes of magnetic fields provided at various angles from one another

Abstract

Coil arrangements, systems, and methods are provided which are capable of facilitating information for imaging an anatomical structure. The arrangement may include two different coils. The first coil can produce a magnetic field in one direction and the second coil can produce a magnetic field in a second direction. The flux of the magnetic field of the first coil may be oriented at an angle other than zero and 180 degrees relative to the flux of the magnetic field of the second coil. In further exemplary embodiments, the coil elements may be in ring shapes. A shield may also be included in the arrangement and may be associate with the first and/or second coil. Connected to the coil arrangement may be a decoupling interface arrangement, which acts as an interface between the MRI scanner and the coil arrangement to decouple the coils.
