Abstract
High-frequency coil arrangement for a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus and magnetic resonance tomography apparatus employing such an arrangement have a surface coil and a loop coil for enclosing the examination subject. Both coils are fashioned for receiving the same first polarization component. A switching device is present for alternately deactivating and/or activating the surface coil and the loop coil. The two coils are preferably arranged on a common carrier structure that is bendable.
