Quadrature RF coil for magnetic resonance imaging

摘要

In order to provide a good frequency property and good openness of a magnetic field space, there is provided a quadrature RF coil and RF magnetic field generating apparatus that comprises two RF coils facing each other, each of the RF coils comprising an annular closed loop (602) and a plurality of radial electric paths (604) inside the closed loop (602), and generates an RF magnetic field by quadrature-driving the two RF coils, and a magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus employing such an RF magnetic field generating apparatus.
