ABSTRACT:
The MR imaging apparatus comprises an RF shield for interposed between the set of gradient coil and the RF coil. The RF shield is a cylinder which longitudinal axis is substantially coincident to the z-axis in which a static magnetical field is applied. The RF shield comprises two conductive sheet-members which are half-cylinder respectively and integrated into one cylinder. The sheet members have a plurality of generally C-shaped conductive loop portions respectively which are defined by nonconductive lines parallel to RF current flow induced therein by the RF coil and a single radial cut line respectively. The RF shield comprises a connecting means for electrically connecting the C-shaped conductive loop portions so that the C-shaped conductive loop portion in one of the sheet members and corresponding C-shaped conductive loop portion in the other sheet member can be formed into one circuit respectively and a current can circulate in said circuit in the same direction around a y-axis orthogonal to the z-axis.
