Abstract:
A method and apparatus for identifying local RF coils in a MR system includes a microcontroller that is provided in the bore of the system. The microprocessor determines when local RF coils are connected, identifies the coils, and provides the information to an MR scanner. The controller is shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference.
