Automatic configuration of a low field magnetic resonance imaging system

A first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, comprising:

• a B0 magnet configured to provide at least a portion of a B0 field;
• a plurality of gradient coils;
• at least one radio frequency coil;
• a power system comprising one or more power components configured to provide power to at least the plurality of gradient coils and the at least one radio frequency coil to operate the first MRI system;
• and
• at least one processor programmed to:
• detect a second MRI system in an environment of the first MRI system;
• negotiate with the second MRI system at least one operating parameter to reduce or eliminate interference between the first MRI system and the second MRI system, wherein negotiating the at least one operating parameter comprises:
• selecting a first Larmor frequency for the first MRI system;
• selecting a second Larmor frequency for the second MRI system, wherein the second Larmor frequency is different from the first Larmor frequency;
• and
• operate the first MRI system using the first Larmor frequency to obtain at least one first magnetic resonance image.
