Local coil arrangement for diagnosis of patient in MRI system, has antenna elements receiving signals from patient, analog-to-digital converter converting signals of antenna elements into digital signals, and memory storing digital signals

摘要

The arrangement (106) has antenna elements (SP1-SP3) for receiving MRI signals (S) from a patient (105). An analog-to-digital (A/D) converter (AD) converts the received signals of the antenna elements into digital signals (D). A memory (SP) stores the digital signals. An antenna i.e. Bluetoothantenna (AN), transmits the stored digital signals through a plug (SR) e.g. universal serial busterminal and/or a coaxial cable terminal. A pre-amplifier (VV) amplifies the received MRI signals before A/D conversion. An independent claim is also included for a method for storing signals in a local coil arrangement for a MRI system.
