摘要:
Embodiments relate to multi-turn magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radio frequency (RF) coil arrays employing ring decoupling, and MRI apparatuses employing such coil arrays. One example embodiment comprises: four or more RF coil elements that enclose a cylindrical axis, wherein each RF coil element comprises a first capacitor of that RF coil element and a loop comprising at least two turns; and a ring structure that facilitates decoupling of the RF coil elements, wherein each RF coil element is adjacent to two neighboring RF coil elements and is non-adjacent to one or more other coil elements, wherein each RF coil element has a shared side in common with the ring structure, wherein the shared side comprises a second capacitor of that RF coil element with a capacitance selected to mitigate inductive coupling between that RF coil element and non-adjacent RF coil elements.
