A wireless magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner bore tube assembly has
a radio frequency (RF) antenna, a microwave antenna array and an
electrical screen. The RF antenna is formed of a series of RF antenna
elements, each comprising a rung. The rungs are spaced at intervals of
substantially half of the wavelength of the frequency of operation of the
microwave antenna array. The microwave antenna array is formed by a
series of microwave antenna elements interleaved between the rungs and
the screen acts as a reflector to reflect signals from the microwave
antenna elements towards the centre of the bore tube.
