Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a cascade of surface coils for detection so that larger objects can be measured while the attractive signal-to-noise ratio of surface coils is retained without mutual re-orientation of coils with respect to the object being required. By introducing a partial overlap between successive coils, suitable homogeneity can be achieved for the detection.
