Abstract
The present embodiments relate to an MR local coil arrangement and an MR unit. An MR local coil arrangement is disclosed including at least one MR antenna, an illumination unit with at least one light-generating unit to illuminate an illumination region, and a switching unit with at least one sensor to control the illumination unit.
Claims12
A magnetic resonance (MR) local coil arrangement comprising:
- at least one MR antenna;
- an illumination unit with at least one light-generating unit configured to illuminate an illumination region of a patient;
- and
- a switching unit with at least one sensor configured to control the illumination unit, the at least one sensor comprising at least one proximity sensor, at least one motion sensor, or the at least one proximity sensor and the at least one motion sensor,
- wherein the switching unit is configured to switch the illumination unit between at least two operational states without an operator touching the switching unit.
