Method for transferring at least one speech signal of a patient during a magnetic resonance imaging examination, and magnetic resonance imaging device

A magnetic resonance imaging device for transferring a speech signal of a patient during a magnetic resonance imaging examination, comprising:

• communication circuitry configured to:
• record the speech signal;
• generate a modulated signal by modulating the speech signal onto a reduced amplitude carrier signal, the reduced amplitude carrier signal having a reduced amplitude as a result of reducing, by a reduction factor, an amplitude of a carrier signal used for transmission in accordance with a communication protocol;
• and
• transmit the speech signal as part of a communication signal to a receiver of the magnetic resonance imaging device,
• wherein the communication signal is (i) the modulated signal, or (ii) generated from the modulated signal;
• and
• a receiver configured to receive the communication signal.
