Abstract: A local coil device includes one or more radio frequency (RF) receive coils; and a signal transceiver implemented to couple a scanner configured to transmit or receive an RF signal and a controller configured to control the local coil device, wherein the RF receive coil comprises a decoupling circuit configured to block an induced current flowing in the RF receive coil when an RF transmission operation of the scanner is performed; and a thermistor having a resistance value changing by the induced current, and wherein the decoupling circuit is configured to block the induced current flowing in the RF receive coil based on a control signal received from the controller through the signal transceiver.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a radio frequency (RF) receiving coil unit for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The RF receiving coil unit includes an RF coil and a circuit. The circuit is configured to monitor a current flowing through the RF coil by using electromagnetic coupling between the RF coil and the first coil.
