Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging coil, comprising:a conductive cavity; a first toroidal transverse plane with holes therethrough, wherein said first transverse plane is connected to a first end of said conductive cavity; a second toroidal transverse plane with a holes therethrough, wherein said second transverse plane is connected to a second end of said conductive cavity; and coaxial cables, wherein said cables are fed through one of said transverse planes via said holes, through the conductive cavity and through the other of said transverse planes via said holes, each of said coaxial cables having: an open end; and an end opposing said open end, each of said open ends and said opposing ends terminating at a distance from said transverse plane and exterior to the conductive cavity, wherein each of said opposing ends is connected with a tuning-matching network.
