    摘要: A local coil unit for a magnetic resonance apparatus, which radiates a radio-frequency field into an examination subject, has a housing and at least a part of the housing is formed of an insulating dielectric material that passively compensates for an inhomogeneity in the high-frequency field in the subject. The material has a relative dielectric value εr of greater than 50, preferably greater than 100, and a dielectric loss factor tan δ of less than 2.5×10−2, preferably less than 1×10−3. In the dielectric material displacement currents are generated which create an additional magnetic field that compensates for the minima in the B1 field as a result of the eddy currents arising in the patient due to the radio-frequency radiation.

    摘要: A method for signaling a tuning of an adjustment parameter of an antenna coil arrangement of a magnetic resonance tomograph includes detecting a deviation between an actual adjustment value of at least one adjustment parameter and a required adjustment value of the at least one adjustment parameter. As a function of the deviation, an acoustic and/or a mechanical signal is output in real time to an operator. A device for signaling a tuning of an adjustment parameter of a coil arrangement of a magnetic resonance tomograph, and a magnetic resonance tomograph operating according to the method and/or containing the device are described.

    摘要: A device for thermal stabilization of a first electrical characteristic of an antenna array of a magnetic resonance tomograph includes a heat exchanger configured for thermal coupling of a component of the device to a heat source. The device also includes a temperature-dependent second electrical characteristic. In a predefined connection to the antenna array, the temperature-dependent second electrical characteristic is configured to compensate for an effect of a temperature-dependent change on the first electrical characteristic of the antenna array in a predetermined temperature range.

    摘要: An RF antenna arrangement of a combined MR/PET system is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the RF antenna arrangement includes a first part installed in the examination tunnel in a fashion fixed to the system such that it is arranged underneath the couch board when the latter is introduced, and a second part, which can be placed onto the couch board and be introduced into and withdrawn from the examination tunnel together with the couch board. In at least one embodiment, the second part is of dimensionally stable design and has a clear cross section that is adapted to the object to be examined. Consequently, the time outlay for applying the RF antenna is reduced, and the fixed position of the RF antenna enables a correction of the attenuation of gamma rays. Furthermore, a number of second parts having various diameters can be provided.
