Abstract
A device and a method are provided for status acquisition of a RF coil on or in a magnetic resonance device. The device may be arranged on the RF coil and comprises a status acquisition unit. The status unit is configured to acquire a status of the RF coil and to generate a status-dependent output signal.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a RF coil configured for use on or in a magnetic resonance device;
- and
- a status acquisition unit arranged on the RF coil, wherein the status acquisition unit is configured to acquire a status of the RF coil and to generate a status-dependent output signal, wherein the status acquisition unit is configured to be at least partially deactivated.
A method for status acquisition of a RF coil on or in a magnetic resonance device, the method comprising:
- acquiring at least one signal which characterizes a status of the RF coil;
- generating a status-dependent output signal;
- wherein the status-dependent output signal is based on the at least one signal;
- and
- suspending the status-dependent output signal for a time following an acquisition of a change in status of the RF coil.
2 more elements
A magnetic resonance device comprising:
- a local RF coil;
- and
- a status acquisition unit arranged on the local RF coil, wherein the status acquisition unit is configured to acquire a status of the local RF coil and to generate a status-dependent output signal, wherein the status acquisition unit is configured to perform a discontinuous acquisition.
