The configuration is such that the lower coil 1 and the upper coil 2 are electrically connected and can be divided into upper and lower parts as shown in FIG. There is a guide 6 so that the upper coil can be easily connected, and a stopper 7 can fix the upper and lower coils. As for the shape, there is a relief portion 3 for the lower coil and a relief portion 4 for the upper coil so that the shape of the subject does not hit.

した。On the other hand, a conventional coil will be described with reference to FIG. Although a shoulder relief is provided as shown, there is no face relief and a window is provided. Therefore, in the coil of the embodiment of the present invention, the signal from the face portion is a low signal, and the moving artifact due to the mouth or tongue does not occur. for that reason,
More effective clinical images are obtained. Furthermore, the signal intensity on the thoracic vertebra side becomes stronger, and the imaging of the thoracic vertebrae Nos.
Even in the case of cervical vertebrae, simultaneous imaging of the second to third thoracic vertebrae is clinically very important. The experimental results show the typical sensitivity distribution and Z in the lossy cross section of the RF coil in FIGS.
The signal intensity curve on the axis is shown. As can be seen from the above, the clinically effective sensitivity on the thoracic vertebra side is improved, and the sensitivity on the facial part is decreased. The sensitivity on the thoracic vertebra side 8 cm from the center of the coil was improved by about 30%.

This will be described using 1. Generally, the sensitivity of the RF coil is expressed by the following equation.

とより胸椎側の撮影が可能となる。[Formula 2] S / N ∝η × √Q η; Filling factor, Q; Quality factor η represents a filling factor (filling rate), and is simply a ratio of the volume occupied by the sample to the RF coil. . On the other hand, since the sample is a subject, the size of the head and the thickness of the chest plate differ depending on individual differences. Therefore, for a person with a small body such as a child or an old woman, the coil shown in FIG. 10 can be photographed with higher sensitivity. In addition, a person with a large physique and a thick chest plate can use a coil having a vertical distance as shown in FIG.

Capacitor) Therefore, since the inductance changes depending on the shape of the upper coil, the capacitor may be adjusted according to the resonance frequency. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the smaller the size of the upper coil, the smaller the inductance. The capacitors may be increased by that amount to adjust the resonance frequency. As described above, by preparing only the lower coil and various upper coils, clinically effective imaging can be performed with optimum sensitivity in response to individual differences.

能となる。Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the upper coil does not contribute to signal detection, but works only for tuning the resonance frequency of the lower coil. By connecting this, the resonance frequency can be tuned, and only the lower coil contributes to signal detection and functions as a surface coil. This is effective when the sensitivity of the lower side of the cervical spine is clinically desired, for example, when MR myelography is performed on a thin test subject. By preparing only the common lower coil according to the above embodiment, it is possible to use it as a surface coil.

An example of this case is shown in FIG. By using the substrate, it is possible to easily adjust the position of the connecting portion of the upper coil and the lower coil, the flatness, etc., and to secure the mechanical strength of the slippage. Further, by using a connector to connect a large number of pins, contact failure can be prevented and reliability can be ensured. By using the flash type connector, the contact resistance did not become a problem even with a slip of about 2000 times. Further, the connector and the board are soldered and integrated to facilitate maintenance. Sufficient performance can be obtained by screwing between the substrate and the coil and attaching conductive paint. Further, by providing the plate-shaped guides on the left and right, it becomes easy to insert and remove.

It is also possible to use it as a spine-like surface coil with the lower coil and the upper side for resonance tuning, and the method is the same as described above. In addition, plate-shaped guides are provided on the left and right to facilitate the left and right alignment.

This also made it possible to take clinically effective 3rd to 4th images of the thoracic spine. By preparing a large upper coil with different size, it is possible to shoot with higher sensitivity according to the individual difference of the patient, and the vertical height from 280 mm to 24 mm compared to the conventional one.
