    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging scanner includes a generally cylindrical main magnet assembly (10) that defines a cylinder axis (16). A first set of shims (60) are rigidly positioned inside the magnet assembly (10) at about a first distance (d1) relative to the cylinder axis (16). A second set of shims (62) are rigidly positioned inside the main magnet assembly (10) at about a second distance (d2) relative to the cylinder axis (16). The second distance (d2) is different from the first distance (d1). A generally cylindrical radio frequency coil (26) is arranged inside the main magnet assembly (10) at about a third distance (d3) relative to the cylinder axis (16). A plurality of gradient coils (20) are arranged inside the main magnet assembly (10) at about a fourth distance (d4) relative to the cylinder axis (16).

    摘要: A resonance exciting coil (C) disposed in an image region in which a main magnetic field and transverse gradients have been produced. A flexible receiving coil (D) includes a flexible plastic sheet (40) on which an electrically continuous flexible foil strip (36) is adhered to receive signals from the resonating nuclei. The coil also includes components (24), mounted on the flexible plastic sheet (40), which may amplify the received signals before they are transmitted along a cable (22). A first soft material layer (44) is mounted on the flexible plastic sheet (40) for providing comfort to the patient. A flexible mechanical structure (50) on which two flexible receiving coils (F, G) adjusts an overlap between the coils (F, G) as the coils are flexed to adjust interaction properties of the coils (FIGS. 4 A, 4B). Pivotal rods (56) of a fixed length which connect two flexible coils (F, G) cause the spacing of the coils to vary in accordance to a flex applied to the coils to adjust the relative interactive properties with flexing (FIGS. 5 A, 5B). Flexible coils (D) in modular components provide identification points on each modular component which connect to similar identification points on other flexible coil modular components (FIGS. 9 A-9C).

    摘要: A coil assembly (40) includes a first, birdcage type head coil assembly (42) dimensioned to receive a patient's head and a second, neck coil assembly (44) including an anterior coil portion (44a) and a posterior coil portion (44b) dimensioned to receive the patient's neck region. The head and neck coils are partially overlapped. A first cable extends (98a) from the anterior coil portion past the birdcage head coil assembly and a second coaxial cable (98b) extends from the posterior portion past the birdcage head coil assembly. A first decoupling circuit (104a) is disposed in the first coaxial cable beyond a guard ring (106) and a second decoupling circuit (104b) is disposed in the second coaxial cable adjacent the region of overlap between the head and neck coil assemblies. The decoupling circuits are positioned and tuned to prevent radio frequency communication along the coaxial cable sheath between the head and neck coil assemblies. The head and neck coil assemblies are mounted in the mechanical housing which is openable such that an upper half of the guard ring and the birdcage coil and the anterior coil are removable as a unit from the lower half of the guard ring and birdcage coil and the posterior neck coil to facilitate patient access.
