USB connected MRT receiver coil with local data storage and A/D conversion at the local coil

摘要

The present embodiments relate to a method and a local coil arrangement for a magnetic resonance tomography system. The local coil arrangement includes an antenna element for the reception of signals from an object under examination. The local coil arrangement also includes an A/D converter for the conversion of analog signals received with the antenna element into digitized signals, and a memory configured for the storage of the digitized signals.

主权项

1. A local coil arrangement configured for a magnetic resonance tomography system, the local coil arrangement comprising:
an antenna element configured for reception of signals from an object under examination; an A/D converter configured for conversion of analog signals received with the antenna element into digitized signals before transmission to a receiver outside of the local coil arrangement, the A/D converter being positioned locally within the local coil arrangement; a memory configured for the storage of the digitized signals; a device configured for one or more transmissions of the digitized signals stored in the memory, the device comprising a USB connection configured for cable-based transmission of the digitized signals that have been stored in the memory.
