Intervivo coil for a nuclear magnetic resonance tomographic apparatus

摘要

An intervivo probe for a nuclear magnetic resonance tomographic apparatus has a measuring coil carried at one end of a thin plastic carrier, the coil having a cross-sectional area in the range of approximately a few square millimeters and a length of approximately 10 to 20 mm. The measuring probe is inserted in body organs, such as the brain, liver and kidney by means of cannulae or channels which have been surgically or otherwise inserted in the organ for other purposes.
