摘要： A waveguide antenna assembly for a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, particularly a waveguide antenna assembly that can be detuned for an operation with local coils, is composed of multiple metal surfaces connected by diodes respectively located between the metal surfaces. Only when the diodes are through-connected between these metal surfaces are the surfaces connected with one another in terms of RF signals via these diodes, so the assembly operates as a waveguide antenna. When the diodes are disabled between these metal surfaces, the surfaces are unconnected with one another for RF signals.

摘要： A magnetic resonance tomography system is provided having a multichannel transmission system for generating signals to be transmitted for multiple transmit channels. The system includes devices for decoupling signals of different transmit channels from a transmit chain and applying signals decoupled from the transmit chain at inputs of a Butler matrix. The system includes a Butler matrix configured such that a combination of signals of different transmit channels applied at its inputs occurs such that the amplitude of Butler matrix output signals at outputs of the Butler matrix is a function of the relative phases that the phases of signals of different transmit channels have relative to each other at inputs of the Butler matrix. The Butler matrix output signals are applied at inputs of a monitoring unit configured to determine the relative phases of the signals on a basis of amplitudes of the Butler matrix output signals.

摘要： In a method and device for monitoring the physiologically effective radio-frequency exposure in at least one specific volume region of an examination subject in a magnetic resonance data acquisition scan in a magnetic resonance system, amplitude values are acquired that respectively represent, at specific acquisition points in time, a signal amplitude of the radio-frequency signals emitted or to be emitted via the radio-frequency signal channels. Also, phase values are acquired that represent the phases of the appertaining radio-frequency signals at these points in time. Local exposure values are then determined on the basis of the amplitude values and phase values, respectively representing a physiological exposure that the radio-frequency pulses cause at the examination subject at a specific location at a specific time. Based on this, exposure control values are determined that are compared with predetermined exposure limit values. When an exposure limit values is reached or exceeded, a control signal is output.

摘要： In a method and device for monitoring the physiologically effective radio-frequency exposure in at least one specific volume region of an examination subject in a magnetic resonance data acquisition scan in a magnetic resonance system, the magnetic resonance system having a radio-frequency antenna structure with a number of individually controllable radio-frequency signal channels for generation of radio-frequency field distributions in an examination volume including the examination subject, amplitude values are acquired that respectively represent, at specific acquisition points in time, a signal amplitude of the radio-frequency signals emitted or to be emitted via the radio-frequency signal channels in the course of the magnetic resonance measurement. Also, phase values are acquired that represent the phases of the appertaining radio-frequency signals at these points in time. Local exposure values are then determined on the basis of the amplitude values and phase values, these local exposure values respectively representing a physiological exposure that the radio-frequency pulses cause at the examination subject at a specific location at a specific time. Based on this, exposure control values are determined that are compared with predetermined exposure limit values. When an exposure limit values is reached or exceeded, a control signal is output.
