A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus configured to collect magnetic resonance signals from a subject is provided. The apparatus includes a magnetic field generating device, and an electronic paper located at the magnetic field generating device and configured to display predetermined information.

Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and method of displaying information thereof

In order to provide an RF coil for effective imaging from a vertex to an upper T spine, a coil surrounding a forehead portion of an imaging object, a coil surrounding a nose portion over the protuberance of the nose, a coil surrounding the neck, and a coil holding the upper T spine, are integrally molded to construct a coil assembly which can be separated into front and rear parts.

RF coil, magnetic resonance signal measuring apparatus and magnetic resonance imaging apparatus

In order to provide a good frequency property and good openness of a magnetic field space, there is provided a quadrature RF coil and RF magnetic field generating apparatus that comprises two RF coils facing each other, each of the RF coils comprising an annular closed loop,and a plurality of radial electric paths,inside the closed loop,and generates an RF magnetic field by quadrature-driving the two RF coils, and a magnetic, resonance imaging method and apparatus employing such an RF magnetic field generating apparatus.

RF coil, RF magnetic field generating apparatus and magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus

In order to generate an RF magnetic field efficiently, an RF coil is used comprising electric paths,carrying electric current for generating the RF magnetic field within a space containing a subject, and an annular electric path,located farther from the subject than the electric paths,from the subject, for linking respective ends of the electric paths

In order to provide a quadrature RF coil having a good frequency property, and a magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus employing such an RF coil, in combining two coil loops comprising main paths,(,) connected in series via tie paths,(,) with the main paths,(,) orthogonally crossed, the tie paths,(,) are made not to overlap one another.
