    摘要: A local coil includes a coil element in the form of a loop. The coil element includes a first conductor, a second conductor, and a third conductor. The coil element includes a first dielectric and a second dielectric. The first dielectric is arranged between the first conductor and the second conductor, and the second dielectric is arranged between the second conductor and the third conductor. The coil element includes a receive unit that includes the first conductor and the second conductor, and a detuning unit that includes the third conductor. In a first operating state of the coil element, the receive unit has a first resonant frequency. In a second operating state of the coil element, the detuning unit is configured to detune the resonant frequency of the receive unit so that the receive unit has a second resonant frequency different than the first resonant frequency.

    摘要: A local coil for magnetic resonance imaging is disclosed herein. The local coil includes an electrical circuit arrangement and a coaxial cable with an internal conductor and an external conductor surrounding the internal conductor. The two ends of the coaxial cable are connected to the electrical circuit arrangement and the internal conductor and the external conductor together form an antenna loop. The internal conductor and/or the external conductor has at least one interruption and the at least one interruption divides the internal conductor and/or the external conductor into at least two separate segments in each case.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a field camera and a method for measuring a magnetic field distribution using a magnetic resonance tomograph and the field camera. The field camera has a number of samples, which are distributed over a spatial volume to be measured, and a number of receive antennas. In an act of the method, a sensitivity matrix for the receive antennas, for each sample at each receive antenna, is captured using the magnetic resonance tomograph. In another act, antenna signals of the samples in a magnetic field to be measured are captured by the receive antennas, using the magnetic resonance tomograph. Finally, magnetic resonance signals of the individual samples are determined from the antenna signals as a function of the sensitivity matrix, using a controller. In a further act, the magnetic field strength at the location of the samples may be determined from the magnetic resonance signals.
