Abstract
A coil array for an imaging apparatus using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for the transmission or reception, or both, of the Lamor frequency signals, assembled in fields, or arrays, includes individual coils made from a conductor track that defines an area. An electrical conductor is applied, at least in the defined area, and is arranged either within or outside the individual coils, and completely surrounding the individual coils and forming a closed circuit.
