G01R 33/3664
Switching for purposes other than coil coupling or decoupling
Official title: {Switching for purposes other than coil coupling or decoupling, e.g. switching between a phased array mode and a quadrature mode, switching between surface coil modes of different geometrical shapes, switching from a whole body reception coil to a local reception coil or switching for automatic coil selection in moving table MR or for changing the field-of-view (G01R33/3671 takes precedence)}
G01R33/3664 (Switching for purposes other than coil coupling or decoupling) appears on 240 US grants and 262 published applications in this corpus.
