<p>An RF shielding technique is provided for open MRI systems. The RF shield (100) includes a first portion (102) disposed over a gradient field generating set (26, 28, 30), and a skirt-like second portion (104) that wraps around lateral structures, such as the primary magnet (24) and support. The two portions are joined to one another to form an integral RF shield that limits loss of RF energy both through the gradient field elements and through the primary magnet and support structures. <IMAGE></p> |
