ABSTRACT:
An MR compatible endoscope 1 has associated MR saddle coil 10 mounted on a removeable former 9. The tip 2 of the endoscope has the usual service channels for imaging. The coil 10 provides an additional MR signal. To avoid the need to plug the coil 10 in, it is inductively couples to a pick-up coil 13 and, to enable this to be removable as will from the endoscope, this may be located in one of the service channels 7 of the endoscope. The removable nature of the coil permits easy repair and, more importantly, a range of coils to be fitted to the endoscope to accommodate different magnetic field strengths.
