发明名称 SIMULTANEOUS MULTINUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
摘要 The invention relates to an MR device (1) for magnetic resonance imaging of a body (14) placed in an examination volume (7), the device (1) comprising a main magnet (2) for generating a stationary and substantially homogeneous main magnetic field in the examination volume (7), and an RF coil arrangement for generating RF fields in the examination volume (7) and/or for receiving MR signals from the body (14). In order to provide such an MR device, which is arranged to operate at the resonance (Larmor) frequencies of two or more different nuclear species at the same time, the invention suggests that the RF coil arrangement comprises a plurality of independent resonator elements (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) which are adjacently arranged in or near the examination volume (7), wherein adjacent resonator elements (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) are alternately tuned to one of two or more different MR resonance frequencies, and wherein each resonator element (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) is associated with a separate signal transmission (16) and/or signal reception channel (17) of the MR device (1)
