Abstract

A coil arrangement for a magnetic resonance apparatus has a number of coil elements that are capable of being operated independently of one another and are situated around a common central area. Each coil element of the coil arrangement is capacitively or inductively decoupled from the coil elements of the coil arrangement that are immediately adjacent to this coil element. In the central area, there is situated a capacitor network that connects the coil elements of the coil arrangement to one another. The capacitor network is fashioned and dimensioned such that it at least reduces the coupling of each coil element of the coil arrangement to at least one additional coil element of the coil arrangement that is not immediately adjacent to the respective coil element.
