    摘要: An NMR probehead is proposed having a generally cylindrical casing extending along a probehead axis. The NMR probehead can be inserted into the room temperature bore of an NMR spectrometer magnet providing, in a measurement region, a homogeneous static magnetic field along the probehead axis. The NMR probehead comprises a cylindrical radio frequency (RF) resonator oriented along a resonator axis and generating essentially homogeneous RF magnetic fields transverse to the resonator axis. In accordance with the invention, the angle between the probehead axis and the resonator axis is different from 0.degree.. In this manner, the inclination of the resonator does not affect the useful RF magnetic field and the signal to noise ratio of the received NMR signal is independent of the inclination angle.

    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) coil array is used in resonance imaging and/or analysis of a subject located within a cylindrical space in which a magnetic field is operatively applied in an axial direction (z). The coil array comprises a plurality of coil elements (10, 11, 12, 13) angled relative to each other about the axis of the cylindrical space, each coil element having a pair of main conductors extending generally parallel to the direction of the magnetic field and located on diametrically opposite sides of the cylindrical space, and a pair of connection conductors connected between respective ends of the main conductors. Each coil element has its maximum sensitivity near the centre of the cylindrical space, so that the subject under study is located in a region of maximum sensitivity.

    摘要: A compact magnet is disclosed for high field, superconducting magnets for use in magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The magnet has at least a first and a second group of coils with the or each coil in the first group having wound to provide a negative current density with respect to the other coils. The first group acts to enable the overall length of the magnet to be reduced while maintaining a homogenous field over a central region of the magnet.

    摘要: The invention concerns a birdcage resonator used as a transmitter and/or receiver coil in an NMR apparatus. The resonator comprises two ring-shaped conductors each of which is interrupted along its outer periphery by capacitors, the ring-shaped conductors being connected together by axial conducting strips. A plurality of axial conducting strips have their ends located between each pair of peripherally neighbouring capacitors. It is preferred when RF energy is coupled in or out between two conducting strips and when the ring-shaped conductors are shielded by shielding rings in the direction towards the sample. The birdcage resonator in accordance with the invention exhibits an improved RF field homogeneity at higher Q compared to conventional birdcage resonators.

    摘要: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) phased array head coil (10) comprises an array of coils (1, 2, 3, 4) a decoupling circuit (7) and a decoupling base (14). Counter wound inductors from adjoining coils (1, 2, 3, 4) in the decoupling circuit (7) are interlaced to achieve mutual decoupling between adjoining coils. Each separate coil (1, 2, 3, 4) includes a pair of spaced parallel main conductors (12) located on opposite sides of a cylindrical space (5) enclosed by the coils (1, 2, 3, 4). The decoupling base (14) comprises two meandering conductor bases (8, 9) which are interlaced. Orthogonal main conductors (12) of the coil (1, 2, 3, 4) share a common conductor base (8, 9). The multiple crossings of the paths of the conductor bases (8, 9) reduces mutual coupling effects.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance system uses a shielded superconducting magnet to produce a dsv useful for specialist imaging in an overall short magnet system at field strengths 1.5 Tesla and above. The magnet includes at least a first central coil C1, which has a length of at least 25% of the overall length of the magnet, and is used in concert with a series of symmetric primary coils, at least one set of which carry current in a direction opposite to that of the central coil. Force balancing is advantageously used in the design of the coils. The primary coils are shielded by at least one shielding coil, which carries current in a direction opposite to the majority of the primary coils. The magnet resonance system can be used for orthopedic imaging.
