Abstract
A coil system for magnetic resonance imaging in a magnetic resonance imaging system, used to transmit the excitation pulse and to receive the magnetic resonance signals, includes a first coil for transmitting a predetermined high-frequency pulse, second and third coils, arranged on a propagation path of the magnetic resonance signal at a position closer to the object to be examined than the first coil in directions orthogonal to each other, for receiving the magnetic resonance signals, and a pair of tuning elements, respectively provided in association with the second and third coils, for tuning the second and third coils to predetermined magnetic resonance signals. The tuning elements tune the second and third coils slightly offset from accurate tuning points so that voltage phases of the magnetic resonance signals received through the second and third coils coincide with each other.
