Abstract

In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus,there is a region of good i.e. uniform field between A and B but, where the field falls off, say, at D, the r.f. excitation pulse can produce an alias image of D which overlies the desired image of say, B. To reduce this effect, the r.f. excitation coil,comprises an array of small coils, the amplitude and phase of the excitation of which is controlled so that the r.f. field collapses rapidly outside the region of good field.
