Abstract
A shoulder coil for a magnetic resonance system includes a receiving part. The shoulder coil also includes a transmitting part used for coupling a radio-frequency magnetic field of a body coil of the magnetic resonance system.
Claims12
A shoulder coil for a magnetic resonance system, the shoulder coil comprising:
- a receiving part;
- and
- a transmitting part having two circular rings and two wires, wherein the two circular rings are identical and co-axial, wherein the two circular rings each have an opening with two ends of the opening being respectively connected to the two wires, wherein the two wires intersect an odd-number of times, wherein the two circular rings bend toward each other at an end opposite to the respective opening, and wherein the transmitting part is configured to couple a radio-frequency magnetic field of a body coil of the magnetic resonance system such that no dedicated transmission cable for connecting the transmitting part and the magnetic resonance system is required,
- wherein the receiving part and the transmitting part are mutually independent, and
- wherein the shoulder coil is configured to examine a shoulder of a patient.

A transmitting coil of a shoulder coil for a magnetic resonance system, the transmitting coil comprising:
- two circular rings and two wires,
- wherein the two circular rings are identical, parallel to each other and co-axial, the two circular rings respectively having an opening, two ends of each opening being respectively connected to the two wires,
- wherein the two wires intersect for odd-numbered times,
- wherein the transmitting coil is configured to couple a radio-frequency magnetic field of a body coil of the magnetic resonance system such that no dedicated transmission cable for connecting the transmitting part and the magnetic resonance system is required, and
- wherein the transmitting coil is configured to examine a shoulder of a patient.
