Abstract

Surface coil configurations for a magnetic resonance apparatus are described, said configurations comprising a conductive path (10) which extends substantially in a figure of eight forming a pair of adjacent lobes (10a, 10b;) and including a plurality of middle linear sections (20a, 20a', 20a'', 20b, 20b', 20b'';) passed through by current directed in the same direction or in substantially concordant directions and grouped together in a central region of the coil, and sections with an arbitrary shape (22a, 22b) passed through current in the opposite direction in the peripheral region, so that the magnetic radiofrequency field in the central region of the coil is substantially directed in a direction parallel to the local plane of the coil and is spatially non-homogeneous and able to be modulated depending on the number and the geometrical arrangement of said middle linear sections.
