Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A receiving device for magnetic resonance (MR) image signals of a body is operated in an MR system such that for at least one coil element of the receiving device, a space domain, in which a spatial sensitivity of the coil element satisfies a predetermined criterion, is determined. A center frequency and a bandwidth of the MR image signal radiated by the body in the space domain are determined for the space domain. A receive path disposed downstream of the coil element is parameterized for operation at the determined center frequency and with the determined bandwidth.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for operating a receiving device for magnetic resonance (MR) image signals of a body, the method comprising: determining a space domain for at least one coil element of the receiving device, a spatial sensitivity of the at least one coil element in the space domain satisfying a predetermined criterion; determining a center frequency and a bandwidth of an MR image signal emitted by the body for the space domain; and parameterizing a receive…
