Abstract
A capacitor decoupling network allows the production of a multi-loop local coil for magnetic resonance imaging without overlap of the loops and/or with decoupling between both adjacent and non-adjacent coils. The former design may find application for new MRI techniques such as SMASH and SENSE.
