Abstract
A nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system is described. The nuclear magnetic resonance imaging system includes an RF transmit device formed as two rectangular coils arranged in planes orthogonal to one another and formed by two U-shaped loops. The U-shaped loops improve B.sub.1 field homogeneity in the vertical direction. The rectangular coils may be used in a four post MRI device to improve access to the body being imaged.
