AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION OF A LOW FIELD MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEM

摘要

In some aspects, a method of operating a magnetic resonance imaging system comprising a B0 magnet and at least one thermal management component configured to transfer heat away from the B0 magnet during operation is provided. The method comprises providing operating power to the B0 magnet, monitoring a temperature of the B0 magnet to determine a current temperature of the B0 magnet, and operating the at least one thermal management component at less than operational capacity in response to an occurrence of at least one event.

1. A method of configuring a magnetic resonance imaging system having a component to which radio frequency coils of different types can be operatively coupled, the method comprising:
detecting whether a radio frequency coil is operatively coupled to the component of the magnetic resonance imaging system; determining information about the radio frequency coil in response to determining that the radio frequency coil is operatively coupled to the magnetic resonance imaging system; and automatically performing at least one action to configure the magnetic resonance imaging system to operate with the radio frequency coil based, at least in part, on the information about the radio frequency coil.
