Abstract
The present embodiments relate to a method and a local coil for a magnetic resonance tomography system. The local coil has an upper part and a lower part. The upper part and the lower part each have an inclined guide. When the upper part is positioned on the lower part, the upper part and the lower part may be displaced relative to each other along the inclined guides using an adjustment of a distance of the upper part from the lower part.

A local coil for a magnetic resonance tomography system, the local coil comprising:
- an upper part;
- and
- a lower part,
- wherein the upper part and the lower part each have an inclined guide, and
- wherein when the upper part is positioned on the lower part, the upper part and the lower part are displaceable relative to each other along the inclined guide using an adjustment of a distance of the upper part from the lower part.
A local coil for a magnetic resonance tomography system, the local coil comprising:
- an upper part;
- a lower part;
- and
- coil elements,
- wherein the upper part and the lower part each have an inclined guide,
- wherein when the upper part is positioned on the lower part, the upper part and the lower part are displaceable relative to each other along the inclined guide using an adjustment of a distance of the upper part from the lower part, and
- wherein all or some of the coil elements of the local coil are coupled to one another.
A method for adjusting an internal diameter of a local coil for a magnetic resonance tomography system, the local coil including an upper part and a lower part, the upper part and the lower part each including an inclined guide on one side, the method comprising:
- displacing the upper part of the local coil and the lower part of the local coil relative to each other along the inclined guides using an adjustment of a distance of the upper part of the local coil from the lower part of the local coil when the upper part of the local coil is positioned on the lower part of the local coil.
