Coil arrangements, systems, and methods are provided which are capable of
facilitating information for imaging an anatomical structure. The
arrangement may include two different coils. The first coil can produce a
magnetic field in one direction and the second coil can produce a
magnetic field in a second direction. The flux of the magnetic field of
the first coil may be oriented at an angle other than zero and 180
degrees relative to the flux of the magnetic field of the second coil. In
further exemplary embodiments, the coil elements may be in ring shapes. A
shield may also be included in the arrangement and may be associate with
the first and/or second coil. Connected to the coil arrangement may be a
decoupling interface arrangement, which acts as an interface between the
MRI scanner and the coil arrangement to decouple the coils.
