NMR local coil network.

摘要

Counter Rotating Current (CRC) pairs of loop-gap resonators are combined with planar pairs of loop-gap resonators to form networks of NMR local coils. A first embodiment is a quadrature probe in which a planar pair (110) of loop-gap resonators (115, 116) is sandwiched between the loop-gap resonators (123) of the CRC pair (111). In a plurality of other embodiments, CRC pairs, planar pairs, and other types of local coils are arranged adjacent to one another to form networks of NMR local coils with an enlarged net region of sensitivity.
