摘要:A system for MR signal excitation and reception and method which uses a non-resonant device or transmission line to perform MR imaging and spectroscopy. The
system with non-resonant device is advantageous to parallel imaging due to theimproved decoupling performance. Because the non-resonant RF coil is not generallysensitive to frequency, a MR system with the non-resonant RF coil is capable ofmultinuclear MR operation at varied magnetic field strength. The system comprises anon-resonant RF coil for connecting to an MR system, the conductor being configured tohave a characteristic impedance matched to the MR system. The RF coil is configured toproduce electromagnetic fields of differing strengths based on the constant
characteristic impedance maintained in the system for exciting and receiving MR signals.
