Abstract
A separated coil for a magnetic resonance imaging system has a first partial coil in a first partial casing and a second partial coil in a second partial casing, the first and second partial coils being connected to a connector for connection to the imaging system via a first cable and a second cable, respectively. The coil also has a coupler having a first part disposed in the first partial casing and connected to the first partial coil, and a second part, coupled to the first part, disposed in the second partial casing. The first cable is disposed in the second partial casing, and the second part of the coupler is connected to the connector for connection to the imaging system via the first cable. The signals in the first partial coil are coupled and connected to the cable and the connector via the coupler.
