Abstract
A local probe for use in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging includes a pair of loop-gap resonators which are connected together and positioned adjacent a region of interest. FID signals produced in the region of interest induce signals in coupling loops mounted near each loop-gap resonator, and these connect to a transmission line leading to the receiver. Three embodiments are disclosed, one best suited for imaging appendages, a second best suited for imaging the head and neck, and a third best suited for the spine.
