Abstract
The transmitter/measurement coil of a nuclear magnetic resonance tomography apparatus for medical diagnosis in which comparatively high Larmor frequencies are used, is divided into a number of parallel-connected subcoils. The self resonance frequency of the coil can thus be made substantially higher than the Larmor frequency, with the result that the coil will have a suitably improved quality factor at higher frequencies, and measurements can be performed with an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio.
