Abstract

The present invention discloses a radio frequency coil unit for magnetic resonance imaging and a radio frequency coil. The radio frequency coil unit is connected with an active loss circuit capable of actively consuming and absorbing radio frequency power in the radio frequency coil unit to decrease the Q value of the radio frequency coil unit. According to the radio frequency coil unit for magnetic resonance imaging and the radio frequency coil of the invention, the active loss circuit is introduced into the coil unit; the active loss circuit can be utilized to absorb the radio frequency power in the radio frequency coil unit to decrease the Q value of the radio frequency coil unit, and therefore, the coupling degree (correlation coefficient) of every two units in an array coil composed of radio frequency coil unit groups can be decreased, and parallel transmission (PTX) performance can be improved, and the uniformity of a magnetic resonance radio frequency transmitting field can be also improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of magnetic resonance imaging, and in particular relates to a radio frequency coil unit and a radio frequency coil for magnetic resonance imaging. Background technique [0002] Radio Frequency (RF, Radio Frequency) coil is a key component of the magnetic resonance system, and the performance of the coil has a great impact on the overall performance, safety and image quality of magnetic resonance products. The radio frequency coil is responsible for the excitation and acquisition of magnetic resonance signals in the MRI system. The radio frequency excitation field (B1 Field) is generated by the radio frequency transmitting coil, which is opposed to the atomic nucleus containing the sample whose spin is not zero in the fixed main magnetic field (B0Field) ( The most commonly used hydrogen nucleus) is excited to generate a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal, and then the receiving coil receives and collects the magne...
