    摘要: A radiofrequency (RF) coil assembly (18,18′) for use in a magnetic resonance system (10) includes a radiofrequency coil (42) and a plurality of memory resistive elements (46,56,62,72) which each retains a selected resistive state after a control signal is removed. A detune circuit (44), part of the radiofrequency coil assembly, includes a memory resistive element (46) which switches the radiofrequency coil between a tuned and detuned state. Connected between the radiofrequency coil and a pre-amplifier (52), a blanking circuit (54) includes a memory resistive element (56) to short circuit an input of the pre-amplifier. A multiplexing circuit (60) includes a plurality of memory resistive elements (62) to selectively couple the selected outputs of the radiofrequency coils to a receiver (26). A biasing circuit (27) generates the control signal to set the memory resistive elements (46,56) to a first resistive state during a transmit mode and to a second resistive state during a receive mode magnetic resonance system.

    摘要: A coaxial cable comprises at least one internal conductor and a surrounding cable shield. A plurality of sheath wave barriers are arranged along the cable shield, each having two ends that are coupled to the cable shield at coupling points of the cable shield that are spaced from one another. The coaxial cable is exposed to a radio-frequency excitation field with an excitation frequency, due to which sheath waves can be excited on the cable shield. The excitation field is shielded from the at least one internal conductor via the cable shield. The sheath waves can be damped via the sheath wave barriers. A detection circuit is associated with at least one of the sheath wave barriers, from which detection circuit a measurement signal characteristic of a load of the respective sheath wave barrier due to the excitation field can be generated. The measurement signal can be tapped and evaluated.

    摘要: A coil arrangement for a magnetic resonance apparatus has a number of coil elements that are capable of being operated independently of one another and are situated around a common central area. Each coil element of the coil arrangement is capacitively or inductively decoupled from the coil elements of the coil arrangement that are immediately adjacent to this coil element. In the central area, there is situated a capacitor network that connects the coil elements of the coil arrangement to one another. The capacitor network is fashioned and dimensioned such that it at least reduces the coupling of each coil element of the coil arrangement to at least one additional coil element of the coil arrangement that is not immediately adjacent to the respective coil element.

    摘要: A local radio frequency (RF) transmitting coil (26) of a magnetic resonance imaging system (5) has a plurality of coil elements (100). Each coil element (100) has an adjustable load (62) which is adjusted by a control unit (60) to adjust a transmitted B1 field distribution. The load can be adjusted to shim for a uniform B1 field distribution. Non-uniform B1 field distributions can be selected to perform magnetic resonance sequences that use such B1 field distributions, such as parallel imaging. The B1 field distribution can be changed during the magnetic resonance sequence to track a moving region of interest, time division multiplex parallel imaging, and the like.

    摘要: A preamplifier (46) comprises a field effect transistor (64) in common source configuration. While the gate of the field effect transistor is coupled to an amplifier input circuit (e.g. MRI coil), the drain of the field effect transistor (64) is coupled to an amplifier output. The preamplifier comprises furthermore a first (66) and a second (68) source-ground connection. The first source-ground lead (66) couples the source of the field effect transistor to the ground node of the amplifier input circuit, while the second source-ground lead (68) couples the source of the field effect transistor to the ground node of the amplifier output circuit. As a result, amplifier output currents generate basically a voltage drop across the second source-ground lead (68). Thus, the amplifier input circuit is less influenced by any common voltage drop across any common source-ground connection.

    摘要: An antenna for a magnetic resonance unit has a number of antenna rods arranged substantially regularly around an antenna axis, and being axially oriented relative to said antenna axis. Each antenna rod has two opposite ends with a central portion therebetween. The ends of each rod are electrically connected with the ends of at least one adjacent antenna rod by connecting elements oriented tangentially relative to the antenna axis. The rods are symmetrical relative to a plane of symmetry that proceeds perpendicularly relative to the antenna axis. Each point of each antenna rod defines a radial direction with the antenna axis, and the central portion defines a reference direction with respect to the antenna axis. Each radial direction forms a tangential angle with the reference direction, which is a non-constant function of the axial spacing of each point from the central portion of that rod.
