WIRELESS MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) COIL WITH COIL FUNCTIONALITY THAT IS NOT RELIANT ON COIL CONTROL SIGNALS FROM THE MRI SCANNER

WIRELESS MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) COIL WITH COIL FUNCTIONALITY THAT IS NOT RELIANT ON COIL CONTROL SIGNALS FROM THE MRI SCANNER

A magnetic resonance (MR) receive coil (18) includes at least one MR coil element (22) configured to receive MR signals excited in a subject disposed in an MR imaging device (10); an antenna (22, 28) comprising the at least one MR coil element (22) or another antenna (28) that is different from the...

Zusammenfassung:A magnetic resonance (MR) receive coil (18) includes at least one MR coil element (22) configured to receive MR signals excited in a subject disposed in an MR imaging device (10); an antenna (22, 28) comprising the at least one MR coil element (22) or another antenna (28) that is different from the at least one MR coil element; and electronics (24) configured to detect reception of an electromagnetic pulse of interest by the antenna and to perform a coil function based on the detection. The electromagnetic pulse of interest is a radio frequency (RF) pulse generated by the MR imaging device or a magnetic field gradient pulse generated by the MR imaging device.
