Claim Text:
1. A radio frequency coil for use with a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, the radio frequency coil comprising: a first conductive loop; a second conductive loop; and at least one conductive rung disposed between the first and second conductive loops and electrically connected to the first and second conductive loops, forming a cylindrical volume shape, wherein the at least one conductive rung includes a first conductive rung section and a second conductive rung section, and wherein the second conductive rung section has a thickness that is substantially thinner than at least one of a thickness of the first conductive loop, a thickness of the second conductive loop, and a thickness of the first conductive rung section, the second conductive rung section configured to receive a radiation beam emitted from a radiation therapy device penetrating from outside the cylindrical volume into the cylindrical volume.
