ABSTRACT:
A coil for conducting examination of a patient in a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus has a flat surface coil for spectroscopic in vivo examination of the patient and a calibration substance disposed within the coil. The coil is placed in the patient during examination, and the calibration subject supplies a nuclear magnetic resonance signal measurable by the coil as a reference.
