More Information
Summary:In order to mitigate the feeling of confinement experienced by a subject (patient) and improve the S/N ratio of an MRI coil when used as a head coil, there is provided an MRI coil (10) comprising a pair of opposing coils (1 and 2) whose coil surfaces face each other with an imaging space interposed, and a quadrature coil (3) which has a coil surface orthogonal to the coil surfaces of the opposing coils (1 and 2) and surrounds the imaging space. When the MRI coil (10) is used as a head coil, the quadrature coil (3) is fitted over the eyes of a subject H, and the opposing coils (1 and 2) are positioned near the ears of the subject H.
