| 20100156420 | LOCAL COIL ARRANGEMENT FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE APPLICATIONS AND PATIENT BED FOR A MAGNETIC RESONANCE SYSTEM, WITH INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL INTERFACES - A local coil arrangement for magnetic resonance applications has a mechanically dimensionally stable bearing element. A patient bed for a magnetic resonance system has a support surface to support a patient. In operation, the supporting element rests on the patient bed. In this state, it transfers the weight of the local coil arrangement to the patient bed. The local coil arrangement has at least one local coil to excite and/or to receive magnetic resonance signals. Furthermore, it has a multipole, prefabricated electrical interface via which the local coil can be electrically contacted. The electrical interface is arranged so as to be dimensionally stable at the bearing element. Positioning aids for the positioning of the local coil arrangement are arranged on the support surface. In the region of the positioning aids, a multipole, prefabricated electrical counter-interface is arranged so as to be mechanically dimensionally stable. By a corresponding positioning of the supporting element on the support surface of the patient bed, the weight of the local coil arrangement is transferred to the patient bed and the electrical interface is mechanically and electrically plugged into the electrical counter-interface. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100271027 | ADAPTER TO CONNECT A LOCAL COIL IN A MAGNETIC RESONANCE SYSTEM - A simple connection of a coil with a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) is facilitated by a method and an adapter wherein a coil-connection element of at least one local coil is connected with an MRT-connection element of an MRT system. The adapter has a coil-connection element adapter designed to form a connection with at least one coil-connection element of at least one local coil. The adapter also has at least one MRT-connection element adapter designed to form a connection with an MRT-connection element of an MRT system. The adapter can be fixed mechanically to a fixing element of the MRT system. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110037470 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE SURFACE COIL - A plug block module for a surface coil for a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus has a plug block body with contacts for connection lines that can be connected with a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, an adapter plug that can be inserted into an adapter plug of the surface coil, a surface coil connector device that fixes the plug block module to the surface coil, and a connection between the plug block and the adapter plug. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110040174 | HEAD COIL FOR A MAGNETIC RESONANCE TOMOGRAPHY APPARATUS WITH INTERCHANGEABLE OPERATING ELEMENTS - An assembly for mounting and unmounting a surface coil of a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus includes an upper part, a lower part, a locking element to fix the upper part and the lower part to one another, and contact elements at the upper part and at the lower part. The contact elements at the upper part can be brought into an electrically conductive connection with contact elements at the lower part and the upper part and the lower part can be fixed to one another by a movement of the locking element. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110260728 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE COIL DEVICE - A combined head and nape magnetic-resonance coil device for a magnetic-resonance examination using a magnetic-resonance device, includes at least one posterior coil unit and at least two anterior coil units. At least one anterior coil unit of the at least two anterior coil units is mounted in relation to the posterior coil unit such that the at least one anterior coil unit may move along at least one direction of a spacing between the posterior coil unit and the at least one anterior coil unit. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110279119 | COMBINABLE MULTIPART SURFACE COIL FOR MAGNETIC RESONANCE TOMOGRAPHY - The present embodiments relate to a local coil system for use in a magnetic resonance tomography system. The local coil system includes a local coil lower part and a plurality of mutually different local coil upper parts. Each local coil upper part of the plurality is connectable to the local coil lower part to form a local coil. | 11-17-2011 |
