A magnetic resonance (MR) local coil and an MR apparatus are provided. The MR local coil includes at least one antenna layer, at least one first layer, at least one second layer, and at least one third layer. In this structure, at least one MR antenna is arranged on the antenna layer. The at least one first layer is arranged between the at least one antenna layer and the at least one second layer, and the at least one second layer is arranged between the at least one first layer and the at least one third layer.

Multilayer MR local coil

An antenna of a cable arrangement is provided for use in an MR local coil. An MR local coil with such a cable arrangement and a method for producing such a cable arrangement are provided. The cable arrangement includes an electrical conductor, which may have a material with a high electrical conductivity, such as copper for instance. The cable arrangement, in particular the electrical conductor, is embodied in a wavelike manner (e.g., the cable arrangement has a waveform).
