ABSTRACT:
A probe coil system for a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus includes a plurality of coil elements, a plurality of shortening capacitor elements, and first and second capacitors. The plurality of shortening capacitor elements are inserted between and in series with the coil elements. The first capacitor is connected in parallel with the coil elements and the shortening capacitor elements. The second capacitors are connected at least in series with the coil elements and the shortening capacitor elements. Each of the shortening capacitor elements includes a plurality of capacitors and a plurality of switches, selectively opened and closed to switch a total capacitance of the plurality of capacitors, allowing selection of one of a plurality of resonance frequencies by adjusting the first and second capacitors within a predetermined range.
