Abstract
A RF conductive member for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) resonator includes an opening, a butterfly pickup loop, and a sensor cable. The RF conductive member has a length, a width, and a depth, and is configured to conduct a RF conductive member current. The opening passes through the depth of the RF conductive member and is disposed along the length of the RF conductive member. The butterfly pickup loop is disposed within the opening and configured to detect the RF conductive member current. The butterfly pickup loop includes a first loop and a second loop. The second loop is proximate the first loop and co-planar with the first loop. The sensor cable extends from the butterfly pickup loop and is configured to communicably couple the butterfly pickup loop with at least one processing unit.
