摘要: In magnetic resonance apparatus such as imaging apparatus, wherein a receive coil (6) is placed adjacent to the surface of patient (1), spaced from in interests improvement signal-to-noise ratio with pad (13), forming part structure properties, material having permeability greater than that free space at frequency but being non-magnetic steady fields interposed between and order guide flux signal source (12) region interest (7) selectively along paths which couple therefore increase strength relative noise.
