    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method, a computer program, a data storage medium, a system, and a local-coil apparatus for a magnetic resonance tomography MRT unit having at least one receive coil configured to receive an MRT signal and a receive amplifier apparatus having at least one output amplifier unit and configured to amplify the received MRT signal in order to drive an analog-to-digital converter ADC. The at least one output amplifier unit is configured to amplify the MRT signal, below a signal-level threshold value, by a high gain, and, above the signal-level threshold value, by a low gain. The receive amplifier apparatus is configured to change a bias current of the at least one output amplifier unit according to a defined MRT signal level.

    摘要: A receiving device for two signals having different center frequencies. The receiving device includes a sampler. A first signal of the two signals and a second signal of the two signals are supplied to a first signal-input of the sampler in a time multiplex. The sampler digitizes the first signal and the second signal at a sampling rate. The receiving device also includes a frequency mirroring device that mirrors the second digital signal in a frequency domain about a quarter of the sampling rate.

    摘要: A coil interface apparatus may include: a plug, for connection to a coil apparatus for receiving a magnetic resonance signal via a test subject in the MRI device. The plug may include a first power coupler and at least one first signal coupler. The apparatus may include a socket, for connection to a main body of the MRI device. The socket may include a second power coupler and at least one second signal coupler. The at least one first signal coupler may send a magnetic resonance signal received from the coil apparatus to the at least one second signal coupler by induction. The at least one second signal coupler may receive the sent magnetic resonance signal by induction. The second power coupler may send a power signal to the first power coupler by induction, and the first power coupler may receive the sent power signal.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a local coil with a device for providing a first mixed frequency signal and a second mixed frequency signal by a first auxiliary frequency signal and a second auxiliary frequency signal. The device has an auxiliary mixer configured to generate the second mixed frequency signal from the first auxiliary frequency signal and the second auxiliary frequency signal. The local coil has a signal input including a first signal connection to the device. The local coil is configured to jointly receive the first auxiliary frequency signal and the second auxiliary frequency signal by way of the signal input and supply them to the device by way of the first signal connection.

    摘要: A position detection apparatus including: an electromagnetic induction module configured to send to a mode triggering module an induced voltage signal generated due to a change in a magnetic field; a mode triggering module configured to output a preset trigger signal based on the induced voltage signal, the trigger signal corresponding to the induced voltage signal; and a signal generating module configured to generate an analog signal of a first mode corresponding to the induced voltage signal based on the received trigger signal, and send the analog signal of the first mode to an MR receiving module of an MRI system via an antenna module, so that: the MR receiving module judges whether the wireless squeeze ball has entered the interior of a body coil from outside a tubular body of the MRI system, based on the analog signal of the first mode.
