Abstract
The present invention relates to a coil arrangement, in particular for use in a magnetic particle imaging apparatus (100), comprising a coil split into at least two coil segments, wherein the winding direction is inverted between at least one coil segment to another coil segment, and a capacitor coupled between at least two adjacent coil segments. Further, the present invention relates to such a magnetic particle imaging apparatus, in particular an apparatus (100) for influencing and/or detecting magnetic particles in a field of view (28), which apparatus comprises selection means and drive means (120) wherein at least one drive field coil and/or at least one selection field coil representing a selection field element is implemented by a coil arrangement as proposed according to the present invention.
