Abstract:
1. A mufti-channel coil array for use as a transmitting and/or receiving element in magnetic resonance tomography (MRT), the array having a plurality of radio frequency (RF) coils disposed next to one another and devices for electromagnetically decoupling the RF coils, the array comprising: a plurality of individual, planar carrier elements, each carrier element having a regular equilateral polygonal outer contour, wherein a 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional structure of an overall coil array is created by joining said individual carrier elements to each other; and a plurality of coil elements, each coil element mounted to one carrier element to form a complete, individual coil, each individual coil thereby having a shape that corresponds to an outer contour of said carrier element, wherein said individual coil has a loop-shaped structure decoupling carrier elements which do not directly neighbor each other within the mufti-channel coil array.
