Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present embodiments relate to a local coil system for a magnetic resonance system. The local coil system includes at least one local coil for detecting MR response signals and at least one transmitting device for the wireless transmission of signals to a receiver of the magnetic resonance system. The local coil system is embodied with a transmitter-side diversity. A receiver-side diversity may exist in the magnetic resonance system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A local coil system for a magnetic resonance (MR) system, the local coil comprising: at least one local coil for detecting MR response signals; at least one transmitter for wireless transmission of signals to a receiver of the MR system; a first switching device; and a plurality of antennae connected to an output of the at least one transmitter by way of the first switching device, wherein the local coil system is configured with a transmitter-…
