Patent ID: 8203342

Claim:
A nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system comprising: a static magnetic field generating source of a cylindrical shape which generates a static magnetic field, a gradient coil which is disposed along the static magnetic field generating source in a test region surrounded by the static magnetic field generating source, a radio frequency coil which is disposed along the gradient coil in the test region at a position closer to the center of the test region compared with the gradient coil, and comprises a first loop coil and a second loop coil locating in planes substantially perpendicular to direction of the static magnetic field, a plurality of linear conductors connecting the first loop coil and the second loop coil and substantially parallel to the direction of the static magnetic field, and a plurality of first capacitors disposed in the first loop coil, the second loop coil and/or the linear conductors, and a conductor part which is disposed between the gradient coil and the radio frequency coil, and covers periphery of the radio frequency coil, wherein: the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system comprises a plurality of connecting parts which electrically connect the radio frequency coil and the conductor part via capacitors, and an electric power supply circuit installed in at least one of the plurality of connecting parts and connected in parallel to the capacitor in the connecting part.
