Abstract
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) phased array head coil () comprises an array of coils () a decoupling circuit () and a decoupling base (). Counter wound inductors from adjoining coils () in the decoupling circuit () are interlaced to achieve mutual decoupling between adjoining coils. Each separate coil () includes a pair of spaced parallel main conductors () located on opposite sides of a cylindrical space () enclosed by the coils (). The decoupling base () comprises two meandering conductor bases () which are interlaced. Orthogonal main conductors () of the coil () share a common conductor base (). The multiple crossings of the paths of the conductor bases () reduces mutual coupling effects.
