ABSTRACT:
In a magnetic resonance apparatus for providing an image of a sample a birdcage resonator 12 is provided with its axis parallel to the magnetic field of the apparatus. A radio-frequency source 36 is connected to the resonator 12 so as to generate a magnetic field by a first resonance mode of the resonator and a detector 44, 46 is connected to the resonator 12 so as to detect any signal received by the resonator in its second, orthogonal mode.
