<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, specifically, a radio frequency (RF) coil and an instrument for decreasing acoustic noise in an MRI system. <P>SOLUTION: The radio frequency (RF) coil (300) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems includes a first end ring unit (302) containing two or more openings (308) and a second end ring unit (304) containing two or more openings (308). Two or more langues (306) is arranged between the first end ring unit (302) and the second end ring unit (304). Each of the langues (306) has a first end (316) connected to the first end ring unit (302) and a second end (318) connected to the second end ring unit (304). Each of the langues (306) may also include two or more openings (310). The openings (308) in the end rings (302, 304) and the openings (310) in the langues (306) decrease an eddy current and improve the RF characteristics of the RF coil. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
