Abstract
A local coil for NMR imaging includes a pair of loop-gap resonators which are mounted to a circular cylindrical insulating base. The NMR signal is coupled to a transmission line which terminates at a head connector that mounts to the base and which connects to a coupling loop formed by a conductive foil. The conductive foil forms a closed loop which is mounted to the base between the two loop-gap resonators and which follows the contour of the loops of the loop-gap resonators.
