Method and apparatus for decoupling RF detector arrays for magnetic resonance imaging

摘要

A radio frequency (RF) detector array assembly for use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system comprises at least one RF detector array, wherein the array has a plurality of RF detector elements for use in simultaneously acquiring radio frequency (RF) signals from the MRI system, and, a decoupling interface coupled to each of the plurality of detector elements for decoupling each detector element from the remaining detector elements. A method for decoupling radio frequency (RF) detector array elements in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system is provided. The method comprises the steps of providing at least one RF detector array, wherein the detector array has a plurality of RF detector elements, and, providing a decoupling interface coupled to each of the plurality of detector elements for decoupling each detector element from the remaining detector elements.
