ABSTRACT:
Bi-planar coil assemblies are disclosed which have DSV's whose centers are offset by distances D from the origins of x,y,z-coordinate systems, where said origins of x,y,z-coordinate systems are coincident with the geometric centers of the coils. The distances D can be of the order of 10-20 centimeters or more. The bi-planar coil assemblies can be used in MRI applications to reduce the feeling of claustrophobia experienced by some subjects. The assemblies also can facilitate the imaging of various joints, including the wrist, elbow, ankle, or knee.
