Abstract

In a magnetic resonance imaging tomography apparatus having a transmission antenna for exciting nuclear spins in an examination subject, and a reception antenna in the form of a local coil, the feeder for the local coil is provided with decoupling elements. The decoupling elements prevent a coupling of the electrical field of the transmission antenna with the feeder for the local coil.
