Abstract: An apparatus and a method for generating an image from N reception signal data sets of signals received by a plurality of coils of a magnetic resonance tomography appliance from a region of a body to be examined using an image processing computer are provided. The apparatus includes a degree-of-compression determining device. A ratio N/M of the number N of N reception signal data sets generated from the signals received by the plurality of coils to a smaller number M of mode data sets is defined taking account of a plurality of parameters. The plurality of parameters at least also represent system resources of the image processing computer. Using a compression computer, the N reception signal data sets are compressed into M mode data sets. After this, the M mode data sets are used by the image processing computer for generating the image of the region of the body.

A base plate is engageable with a moveable support element connecting the shoulder coil posterior part to the base plate to permit lateral movement and 90 degree rotation of the shoulder coil posterior part. With the base plate beneath the patient, the shoulder coil posterior part is placed below the first shoulder and the shoulder coil anterior part is placed above the first shoulder to permit acquisition of magnetic resonance measurements. To acquire signals from the opposite second shoulder, the shoulder coil posterior part is moved across the base plate to be positioned beneath the second shoulder and is rotated by 90 degrees.
