Identifying the static position of transmission/reception coils of a magnetic resonance imaging scanner with the aid of electronically readable labels

摘要

A device for identifying a position of a local coil of a magnetic resonance imaging scanner relative to a position of a patient couch includes at least one label configured to transmit a signal with at least one identity number wirelessly, and at least one reading unit with a reading-unit antenna. The at least one reading unit is configured to receive the signal. The device also includes a position determination apparatus configured to determine the position of the local coil relative to the patient couch.
