Abstract
An MRI RF coil has two resonant rings disposed along an axis. The resonant rings are inductively coupled, but are otherwise electrically isolated from one another. In an assembly having two such MRI RF coils, a decoupling element (e.g., a decoupling capacitor or inductor) electrically connected between one ring of one coil and one ring of the other coil decouples the coils.
