Abstract
The two halves of a conventional RF saddle coil, such as spirals or other related structures for use in high resolution NMR or MRI, are disposed on opposite sides of a cylindrical coilform, and rotated from the conventional orientation 90 degrees about the B1 axis, so that the leads are paralleled near the axial center of the RF coil.
